4/26/25 Braves' Chris Sale drops strong reaction to big outing vs. Diamondbacks. The Atlanta Braves are finding their rhythm after a slow start, and so is Chris Sale. In Friday night's commanding 8-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Sale delivered his strongest outing of the season, flashing signs of the dominant ace who helped anchor Atlanta's rotation just a year ago. Sale worked five solid innings, escaping a bases-loaded threat in the first inning before retiring Corbin Carroll, Randall Grichuk, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in a perfect fifth inning to close his night.

4/26/25 Braves chase series win vs. Merrill Kelly, Diamondbacks. The Atlanta Braves continues to build on their strong recent homestead, buoyed by left-hander Chris Sale's first victory of the season Friday. Arizona, meanwhile, has fallen into its first dry spell of the season. The Diamondbacks have lost three in a row and five of their last seven heading into the second contest of the three-game series on Saturday. Atlanta received contributions up and down the lineup in its 8-2 victory Friday, when Eli White and Austin Riley had two hits and two RBIs apiece to help Sale notch the elusive win.

4/24/25 Red Sox Witnessing Nightmare Situation With Padres Ace: Chris Sale 2.0?. The Boston Red Sox could have a repeat Chris Sale situation on their hands in 2025. Sale won the award last season in his first year with the Atlanta Braves after a handful of seasons with the Red Sox, during which Sale was constantly plagued by injuries. Now, a new ex-Red Sox is looking like one of the best starting pitchers in the NL, this time for the San Diego Padres.

4/19/25 Twins lose to Atlanta, their skid against Braves reaching double digits. Even more frustrating: The Twins had so many chances against longtime nemesis Chris Sale, who gave up six hits, half of them for extra bases, and walked three more batters in his 4? innings. But the Twins only scored twice, constantly seeking a clutch hit off the lefthander that never came. They went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, three times leaving runners stranded on third base.

4/18/25 Vaughn Grissom's hot start, increased versatility could foreshadow Red Sox call-up. When the Boston Red Sox dealt Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves in a one-for-one trade that netted infielder Vaughn Grissom back in Dec. 2023, it looked like the team had acquired a young and controllable piece who could make an immediate impact in manager Alex Cora's starting lineup.

4/16/25 MLB Writers Worried About Former Red Sox Ace's Diminishing Velocity. Is a former Boston Red Sox World Series champion pitcher showing signs of rapid decline to begin 2025? In the world of sports media, it seems like it's never too early to put out “panic meter” or “slump watch” think pieces, and that's just what two leading baseball writers did in the past week, with 2024 National League Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale ominously appearing in both articles. First came Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller's piece on Saturday entitled, “MLB Panic Meter on These 7 Ice-cold Players Early in 2025”. In the piece, Miller noted that the eight-time All-Star Sale is struggling with velocity to start the year.

4/12/25 Chris Sale looking to right ship in Braves' finale vs. Rays. With their season off to a terrible start, the Atlanta Braves could use a better version of pitcher Chris Sale than they have seen through his first three starts in 2025. On Sunday afternoon in familiar surroundings, Sale and the Braves will try to win their three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Sale situation could just be a slow start out of the gate for the left-hander. Or it could be some kind of nuisance preventing him from posting anything close to the stellar 2024 numbers that earned the 15-year veteran the National League Cy Young Award.

3/24/25 What's next for Vaughn Grissom after his demotion? And other thoughts on the Red Sox.. At 24, it's too soon to suggest he's never going to help the Sox. When the Sox traded Chris Sale and $17 million to the Braves for Grissom before last season, nobody suggested it was a mistake given Sale's injury history. The Sox saved $10.5 million and acquired a player they thought was a good prospect. The mistake the Sox made was basing their decision on the data they gathered on Grissom, in particular his ability make contact on pitches in the strike zone.
