Braves' Chris Sale not 'safe' as trade deadline inches closer

The Atlanta Braves' season has gone far from how the team and fans expected. As the trade deadline gets closer, the Braves could start moving some big names.

Marcell Ozuna seems like the likeliest Braves player to be traded. He is going to be a free agent after the season and has already had his playing time reduced. However, FanSided's Christopher Kline listed Chris Sale as another Braves player who is not safe at the trade deadline.

"All the reporting around Chris Sale suggests that Atlanta will pick up his $18 million club option for next season and run it back," wrote Kline.
