Chris Sale’s time with the Red Sox has reached its end.

According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Red Sox have agreed to trade the veteran left-hander to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for infielder Vaughn Grissom. Sale reportedly waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the trade, which marks the end of memorable seven-year run in Boston.

A seven-time All-Star, the Red Sox originally acquired Sale prior to the 2017 season and he immediately became the ace of an eventual championship-winning rotation. Sale finished second in the Cy Young voting his first season with the Red Sox after striking out a career-high 308 batters, and in 2018 he posted a 2.11 ERA while recording the final out of the World Series.

Sale was subsequently awarded a five-year, $145 million contract extension, but injuries subsequently took their toll and the veteran was never the same again. Sale did not pitch in 2020 after undergoing Tommy John surgery and has only made 31 starts while pitching 151 innings over the past four seasons since his extension took effect.

Last season Sale enjoyed his best season since 2019, posting a 4.30 ERA over 102.2 innings, but injuries still cost him nearly two months of the season.
