Chris Sale, Vaughn Grissom trade grades: Who won the Braves - Red Sox deal?
Chris Sale will get a chance at another World Series title with Atlanta
The Atlanta Braves are adding to their world-class starting rotation once again, making a big move to acquire left-hander Chris Sale from the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Sale reportedly waived his no-trade clause to join an Atlanta team that expects to contend for another World Series title in 2024. The Braves are sending 22-year-old Vaughn Grissom back to Boston after a logjam in the infield led the team to shop their young bat this offseason.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been the most aggressive team in the National League this offseason, landing both Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Now the Braves have struck back in the race for the pennant by adding a seven-time All-Star.
So who won the deal? Let’s get into it.
