Braves, Sale Agree to Contract Extension
Veteran Left-hander Inks Multi-Year Deal
Sale to Remain in Atlanta for Foreseeable Future
ATLANTA -- Chris Sale's tenure with the Atlanta Braves will be longer than anticipated. The team announced today that they have signed the veteran left-hander to a multi-year contract extension.
The deal, which is reportedly worth $75 million over three years, further indicates that the Braves believe the veteran left-hander is a key part of their long-term plans. Sale, 33, has been one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball over the past decade, and he brings a wealth of experience to the Braves' rotation.
In 2023, Sale went 12-8 with a 3.62 ERA in 30 starts for the Braves. He struck out 199 batters in 180.1 innings pitched. Sale was also a key member of the Braves' bullpen during their run to the World Series, making two relief appearances in the Fall Classic.
The Braves are hoping that Sale can continue to be a key contributor to their success in the years to come. Sale is a proven winner, and he gives the Braves a legitimate ace at the top of their rotation. With Sale leading the way, the Braves are confident that they can compete for another World Series title in 2024 and beyond.
