Red Sox Trade Chris Sale to Braves for Vaughn Grissom

Grissom, who made history in his debut, is set to play second base for Boston in 2024 while Sale's injury-plagued tenure with the Red Sox comes to an end.

Red Sox traded starting pitcher Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for infielder Vaughn Grissom.
Grissom, who turns 23 on Friday, is expected to play second base for Boston in 2024.
Grissom made history in his major league debut by becoming the youngest player to hit a home run and steal a base in their debut.
Chris Sale's tenure with the Red Sox was marked by injuries and disappointments, with Sale making just 56 starts since signing a new deal in 2019.
The Red Sox will pay the Braves $17 million towards the $27.5 million remaining on Sale's contract.
