7/30/25 Is there an opportunity in the big leagues for Vaughn Grissom? As the trade deadline nears, maybe not with the Red Sox.. Grissom has reached a conclusion. A year ago, Grissom — still under a microscope in his first season with the Sox, following a trade from Atlanta for eventual National League Cy Young winner Chris Sale — was underwater.

7/29/25 Braves urged to go after Phillies starter in free agency. The Atlanta Braves' season has been a disappointment after high expectations in the offseason. The postseason is a long shot for the Braves and they could be thinking about free agency. The Braves should have Chris Sale back next season. FanSided's Christopher Kline suggested the Braves go after Ranger Suárez of the Philadelphia Phillies in the offseason.

7/26/25 Red Sox Doing Disservice To 24-Year-Old INF From Infamous Trade. The Boston Red Sox's primary objective is and always will be winning baseball games, but they've also got to do right by their players. Grissom is currently most famous for getting traded straight-up for Chris Sale, who went on to win the Cy Young Award in his first season for the Atlanta Braves. It will be hard for the Red Sox to ever rescue that trade in the eyes of public perception, but Grissom deserves better than he's currently getting.

7/22/25 Braves could soon cut ties with All-Star backstop, says MLB insider. The Atlanta Braves seem to be resigned to becoming sellers at the trade deadline, but the devil is in the details. If the Braves just trade players on expiring contracts, it could be a very boring trade deadline in Atlanta. Starting pitcher Chris Sale probably isn't getting traded, because the Braves need him for 2026.

7/21/25 Nationals Notebook: Rough road resumes. The Washington Nationals dropped two of three games to San Diego in their first series after the All-Star break, and the likelihood of this team putting together a sustained stretch to avoid a last place finish dims by the day. The “tragic number” for elimination from the NL East race is 47 and shrinking. The Phillies also won the week by placing their mascots in the “Coldplay Hug” during the kiss-cam segment of Saturday's game. Chris Sale, Ozzie Albies and Marcell Ozuna are reaching the end of their respective contracts (not including team options) and might be attractive pieces for contenders.

7/16/25 Red Sox Rumors Tease Stunning Reunion With Former Ace. The end of July is the heart of baseball's silly season, and one of the more interesting rumors out there has Chris Sale potentially heading back to the Boston Red Sox. Less than a year after the Red Sox traded the left-hander to the Atlanta Braves, some around the league are starting to wonder if a reunion could be in play. The speculation began with Jake Storiale of Talkin' Baseball, who floated the possibility during a recent podcast segment.

7/15/25 Former Red Sox Star Ace Balks At Question About Rafael Devers, In Jest. The All-Star break is a time to step back from the rigorous season, relax, and take a break from the intense competition that is the regular season. Media sessions are akin to Super Bowl media day, where seemingly anyone and everyone can ask questions. On Tuesday, former Boston Red Sox pitcher and current Atlanta Braves All-Star Chris Sale was available for questions, and the Section 10 podcast crew stopped by to ask about his former teammate, Rafael Devers. Chris Sale won the National League Cy Young Award in 2024 and was pitching at a very high level before suffering a rib injury in 2025.

ATLANTA (WCYB) — As anticipation builds for tomorrow night's Major League Baseball All-Star game, players from the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves are also looking ahead to a unique event: the Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tennessee, set to take place in three weeks. This event marks several firsts for Major League Baseball, including the first MLB game in Tennessee and the first game played inside a racetrack. The novelty of the venue has players buzzing with excitement and curiosity. Chris Sale, a seasoned player familiar with special events, shared his approach to the upcoming game: Enjoy it, but also, to not overthink it."

There will likely be plenty of teams in search of starting pitching at the trade deadline as they look to make a postseason run. The Atlanta Braves have no intention of moving Chris Sale at the July 31 deadline, Fansided's Robert Murray reported on Thursday. The Braves acquired the left-hander from the Boston Red Sox in December 2023 and he's had a career resurgence.

7/06/25 Could We See Another Atlanta Braves-A's Swap at the Trade Deadline?. The Atlanta Braves are dealing with a number of injuries yet again this season, currently lacking Chris Sale and Reynaldo Lopez, who are on the 60-day IL, along with Spencer Schwellenbach, who is on the 15-day. In addition, they're set to be without AJ Smith-Shawver for much of next year after the 22-year-old needed Tommy John surgery last month. The Athletics have been a familiar trade partner for the Braves in recent years, and if we're being honest, Atlanta has done very well for themselves in both deals.

7/05/25 Braves trade idea brings $67 million 2-time All-Star to Atlanta. The Atlanta Braves have not met expectations this season. The team is without Chris Sale, but is still trying to salvage its season and make the postseason. The Braves are eight games out of a wild card spot, and their postseason chances are slim. FanSided's Mitchell Barbee suggested the Braves trade for Luis Severino of the Athletics.

7/02/25 MLB Trade Rumors: Atlanta Braves Could Deal Star DH Marcell Ozuna To Texas Rangers. This has been an extremely disappointing season for the Atlanta Braves, who opened up the 2025 season with World Series aspirations. Currently, the Braves sit in fourth place in the National League East behind the Miami Marlins. If things continue going as they are, the Braves could end up being sellers before the MLB trade deadline. It looks unlikely they will turn things around now that their reigning Cy Young pitcher, Chris Sale, has been moved to the IL with a rib injury, and SP Reynaldo Lopez is still sidelined as well with a shoulder injury.

7/02/25 Braves urged to dump $81 million 3x All-Star in deadline blockbuster. Things have gone from bad to worse to catastrophic for the Atlanta Braves. After yet another loss on Tuesday night, the Braves have fallen to 38-46, which means they now trail the Miami Marlins for third place in the National League East. It's becoming a disastrous season, and they may have no choice but to soft sell at the trade deadline. No, that doesn't mean the Braves should trade ace Chris Sale, who is under contract for 2026, when Atlanta could easily rebound.

7/01/25 Braves Trade with Pirates, Bad News for Chris Sale. The Atlanta Braves add more right-handed pitching depth to the system. In a corresponding move, the Braves have moved left-hander Chris Sale to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster. The update on Sale is an unfortunate one for the Braves, but an unsurprising update nonetheless. Sale went on the 15-day IL on June 21, retroactive to June 19.

6/30/25 Braves desperate trade idea lands starting pitcher from division rival. The Atlanta Braves are eight games back of a wild card spot entering play on Monday. "(We) want to be in a position to add at the trade deadline." It will take a drastic turnaround for the Braves to put themselves in the postseason. With Chris Sale now on the injured list with a rib injury, the path to the postseason has gotten even tougher.
