"Braves Bolster Rotation with Surprise Acquisition of All-Star Chris Sale from Red Sox"
The Boston Red Sox, led by chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, traded pitcher Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves for infielder Vaughn Grissom. Breslow believes the trade, which also included cash considerations, benefits the Red Sox in the long term and provides Grissom, a dynamic athlete with a strong minor league track record, six years of team control. Sale waived his no-trade clause, seeing potential for another World Series with the Braves. Breslow hinted at more potential moves, emphasizing the need for quality starting pitching and the willingness to trade young prospects to achieve this goal.
