Braves, Red Sox Trade Chris Sale For Vaughn Grissom The Braves and Red Sox have agreed to a major trade, as Chris Sale will head to Atlanta in exchange for infield prospect Vaughn Grissom, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports. The Sox will also include $17MM in the deal to help cover Sale’s $27.5MM salary for the 2024 season, as per the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier. Sale had a full no-trade clause that he has waived to facilitate the move. The surprising move ends Sale’s tumultuous run in Boston after seven years and six seasons, as Sale missed all of the 2020 campaign. After acquiring Sale as part of a blockbuster deal with the White Sox in December 2016, Sale pitched brilliantly in his first two seasons in Boston, twice finishing in the top four in AL Cy Young Award voting and playing a big role in the Red Sox capturing the 2018 World Series. Since 2019 was the last year of Sale’s previous contract, the Red Sox were aggressive in locking up their ace, signing him to a five-year, $145MM extension covering the 2020-24 seasons, with a $20MM club option for the 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, this extension has proven to be a big misfire, as Sale started to run into injury problems even late in the 2018 campaign. He was shut down in August 2019 with elbow inflammation and received a PRP injection, yet that elbow issue was only the harbinger for the Tommy John surgery that cost Sale his entire 2020 season and most of his 2021 campaign. The bad injury luck continued over the last two seasons, as Sale was sidelined by a wide array of maladies including a stress reaction in his ribs, a fractured finger, a broken wrist (suffered in a bicycle accident), and a stress reaction in his shoulder blade. Sale tossed only 48 1/3 innings total in 2021-22, while rebounding to some extent to pitch 102 2/3 frames last season. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/braves-red-sox-trade-chris-sale-for-vaughn-grissom.html |

Montas in that hitter's paradise could be a nightmare. That's more money than I thought he would get. |

So, Soto aside ... what's up with this offseason so far? We've heard rumblings that some players don't want to come here. We've heard rumblings that former players didn't like playing here. Are we in a new era where just being "the Yankees" is no longer enough? Or, are Cash and Stein not spendig enough? This team NEEDS pitching. Bad. We are the YANKEES. What gives? We're no better than the Mets these day it seems. How do we bring back greatness?

The first time we traded Rueben Sierra he said “All those guys care about over there is winning.” 🤓 Sonny Gray bitched about the way he was being coached… |
