Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox

20m club option for 25 is a nice piece.

Per Heyman:

Reds signing Frankie Montas a 1 year deal in the $15M-$16M range

Like I’ve said a few times unfortunately AA isn’t signing a pitcher for the rotation

Well I was wrong and right

If Sale is healthy and that’s a big if AA may have done it again

Sale is signed thru 2024 with a 2025 vesting option
 
Sale waived his no trade clause to come to Atlanta

Red Sox are sending money to cover some of Sale’s $27.5MM salary for the 2024 season as well

Huge get for just Grissom and not having to give up ANY pitching prospects whatsoever

Braves get $17 million to help with the $27.5 million... this could be a huge get if he is indeed healthy.
 
I’m assuming this transfers to the NL as well but I could be wrong…does anyone know?

Sale does have a 2025 vesting option, one that kicks in if he finishes top 10 in AL Cy Young voting in 2024 and avoids finishing the season on the injured list.
