The Atlanta Braves acquired seven-time All-Star Chris Sale from the Boston Red Sox in a trade this past offseason. It was a notable deal that came with risk given Sale's injury history. When healthy, though, Sale is among the best pitchers in the sport.
And Sale is set to open the 2024 season healthy. The 34-year-old made his final start of spring training on Monday and revealed his mindset heading into his first year with Atlanta.
“When you get to the top of the mountain and you get knocked down, it’s a tough pill to swallow,” Sale said, via Mark Bowman of MLB.
