The Atlanta Braves are player Chris Sale has terminated his contract that worth $56.2 million…

Left-handed starting pitcher, Chris Sale, appears to be very comfortable with his new Major League Baseball home.

Sale, who turned 35 March 30, is once again pitching like an All Star for the Atlanta Braves.

The Boston Red Sox traded Sale, along with cash to the Braves on December 23, 2023, for infielder Vaughn Grissom.

The way he is pitching, the Red Sox likely wish they had Sale back in their rotation.

Chris Sale was a 21st round draft pick of the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft.

Sale didn’t sign with the Rockies, instead electing to attend Florida Gulf Coast University, in Fort Myers, Florida.

Coming out of Lakeland High School in Florida, Sale did not attract much attention from Florida’s major college baseball programs, so he went to Florida Gulf Coast.

Working out of the bullpen for Florida Gulf Coast, Sale improved his pitching mechanics by lowering his arm slot, and went on to excel in the summer Cape Cod League.

Scouts liked what they saw of Sale, and he signed with the Chicago White Sox as their top selection in the 2010 MLB draft.
