Previously, he was acquired by the Braves in December 2023, when Altlanta sent infielder Vaugh Grissom to the Red Sox.
On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, Chris earned his first Cy Young Award. MLB Network announced the news through their official Twitter handle with a caption,

Sale wrapped up an incredible regular season in his first year with the Braves, compiling a record of 18-3 in 29 starts.
His 2.38 ETA represented the best mark in the majors while recording a 1.013 WHIP. He also struck out 225 batters compared to 39 walks in 177.2 innings of work.
Sale wasn’t on Altalnta’s roster during its Wild Card Series loss to the San Diego Padres due to back spasms.
However, his presence throughout the regular season was crucial for a Braves team that dealt with a season-ending UCL injury to All-Star Spencer Strider.
As for Sale, he made seven consecutive All-Star appearances from 2012 through 2018.
He then missed the entire 2020 season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery and struggled to stay healthy upon his return.
While Strider and star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. are set to return in 2025, Sale is expected to be an essential piece of a Braves team with postseason aspirations.
