"The nine-time All-Star had a productive 2025 in Atlanta, where he recorded a 2.58 ERA through 125.2 frames. He missed a couple of months due to a fractured left rib cage, but upon his return, he remained effective."
"For the Braves, this extension secures their ace for another year and is a crucial move for a team seeking to return to the postseason."
The Atlanta Braves made significant moves on Tuesday, extending starting pitcher Chris Sale through the 2027 season with a salary of $27M per year and a $30M club option for 2028. Sale, a nine-time All-Star, had a strong 2025 campaign with a 2.58 ERA across 125.2 innings despite missing time due to a fractured left rib cage. Upon returning from injury, he remained effective. This extension is a crucial move for the Braves as they aim to return to the postseason. Additionally, the team announced BravesVision as their future television broadcast solution, and defeated the Detroit Tigers 8-1 on Tuesday.
