9/17/24 Braves Lefty Chris Sale Leads NL Cy Young Field, Including Paul Skenes. Yesterday, we started it off with the AL Cy chase - today it's the NL's turn. If he was in the big leagues from the beginning, he'd be a qualifier, and I'm making the executive decision to cut him a break.

9/15/24 Braves' Chris Sale: Shohei Ohtani Is 'A Special Player'. The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped a second consecutive game to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday as they were stymied by National League Cy Young Award favorite Chris Sale. The left-hander held the Dodgers to just one run and five hits in six innings of work. It was the only time Ohtani reached base as he continues the chase for the first 50-50 season in MLB history.

9/15/24 Chris Sale stymies Dodgers and Ohtani on his way to 17th win as Braves beat LA 10-1. Chris Sale allowed one run and struck out six over six innings, shutting down Shohei Ohtani in the process, for his major league-leading 17th win of the season as the Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-1. Sale (17-3), who hasn’t been charged with a loss since June 27, became the first player in Braves history to allow no more than two earned runs in 17 straight starts, passing Hall of Famer Greg Maddux’s previous record of 16 starts. Matt Olson had four RBIs to lead the Braves at the plate. Ohtani had a strikeout and walk and remains stalled in his quest for 50 homers and 50 steals.

9/14/24 Did Chris Sale pitch himself into the HOF this year?. Chris Sale's pitching career has endured more twists and turns than his famous unorthodox delivery. From 2012 to 2018, Sale -- first with the Chicago White Sox and then, following a trade, with the Boston Red Sox -- was one of the best starting pitchers in the majors, receiving Cy Young votes each season (although never finishing first). In a 2024 resurgence with the Atlanta Braves, Sale is 16-3 with a 2.38 ERA and 213 strikeouts, leading the National League in all three pitching Triple Crown categories (wins, ERA and K's).

9/07/24 Renaissance Season Restores Significance To The Career Of Chris Sale. Left-handed starting pitcher Chris Sale is experiencing a career renaissance in his first season with the Atlanta Braves after a December 2023 trade from the Boston Red Sox. Once on a trajectory bound for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum as the 13th pick in the first round of the 2010 draft by the Chicago White Sox, Sale's career has been derailed by a series of injuries over the past six seasons. A favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award, it would be an impressive accomplishment for Sale after seven consecutive top six finishes in American League voting (2012-2018) while never securing the sport's top pitching prize.

9/07/24 Ex-Red Sox Superstar Has Award 'In The Bag' Showing Trade Failed In 2024. The Boston Red Sox swung a major trade this past offseason. Boston traded longtime ace Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves for infielder Vaughn Grissom after an injury-plagued few seasons. Sale at one point was one of the best pitchers in baseball as a member of the Red Sox, but he didn't look like himself over the last four seasons. It's not surprising that Boston traded him and landing Grissom was a great pickup.
