2/06/25 | Surging Red Sox top prospect could turn Vaughn Grissom into a sunk cost. Boston Red Sox fans were instantly polarized by the team's trade of Chris Sale in Dec. 2023. The veteran had a brutal history of injuries in a Red Sox uniform, but he also posted some of the best seasons of his dominant career in Boston. Sale performing incredibly well for the Braves in his first season out of a Red Sox uniform since 2017 was typical rotten Sox luck. Source: https://bosoxinjection.com/surging-red-sox-top-pro... |
2/06/25 | Braves blockbuster trade idea would land $109 million ace in three-player swap. Spring Training is on the horizon, and the Atlanta Braves have more uncertainty in their starting rotation than they'd usually be comfortable with. Chris Sale, Reynaldo López, and Spencer Schwellenbach all have superstar potential, and so does Spencer Strider when he eventually returns from elbow surgery. The Braves have been known to swing blockbuster trades when the rest of the league is on their heels.

1/30/25 | Red Sox 24-Year-Old Projected To Win Starting Job Over Kristian Campbell: Insider. The Red Sox traded lefty Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves last year to get their hands on Vaughn Grissom, a former top shortstop prospect they believed could become the starting second baseman. Grissom floundered during his time in the majors in 2024, posting a .465 OPS in 31 games.

1/21/25 | Braves would acquire $33M two-time All-Star in 'way-too-early' trade prediction. The Atlanta Braves are typically a team you don't want to trade with. Last season, the Braves fleeced the Boston Red Sox for veteran lefty Chris Sale, who went on to win his first career Cy Young Award. Orlando Arcia has been the Braves' full-time starter for the past two seasons, and he even made a surprise All-Star appearance in 2023. Things have gone downhill since, however, as Arcia was one of the worst qualified hitters in Major League Baseball in 2024. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/atlanta-braves... |
