Braves Extend Chris Sale for 2027 Season

The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a one-year, $27 million contract extension with ace Chris Sale, securing his services through 2027 with a club option for 2028.

Despite a history of injuries, Sale, 36, posted elite numbers in 2024, including a dominant season that solidified his status as a Cy Young contender.

Acquired in a trade with the White Sox prior to the 2024 season, Sale has been a cornerstone of the Braves' rotation, providing 10.0 fWAR over 303 1/3 innings.
