I want the relationship between Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves to be incredible, but like most people, I have my doubts.
As everyone knows, Bravo's MLB superstar pitcher from boston red sox straight trade for infielders bourne grissom, the cash will also be sent to Atlanta. After the deal was signed, Sale said: perfectly healthy And I felt better than I had in a long time. That message was the same when spring training began.

And judging by his spring debut with the Braves, that's 100% the case.
Sale, who made his debut with Atlanta in the Grapefruit League, pitched two innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, giving up no runs in both innings, but it was a complete and dominant performance with no hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. . To further demonstrate how flashy Sale was, only two players were able to put their bats on the ball: the left fielder and the Pirates. brian reynolds Flying out and third baseman Kebrian Hayes Grounding.

As an Atlanta Braves fan, I'm very happy, but I can't help but think about his injury history. Hopefully my man flips the script and takes A-Town to another World Series, and another ring.
