Given the infinity the Atlanta Braves have for the organization's former players, the team could potential trade for a familiar face to replace Chris Sale.

Now in his second season with the Braves, who obtained him from Boston in an even-up swap for young middle infielder Vaughn Grissom, Sale won the Triple Crown of pitching last year. In 2024, he led the NL in victories (18), earned run average (2.38), and strikeouts (225).

The Atlanta Braves have suffered yet another injury to the rotation, this time involving the reigning National League Cy Young winner. The Braves on Saturday placed veteran lefty Chris Sale on the 15-day injured list with a fracture in his left rib cage.
