The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a one-year, $27 million contract extension with ace Chris Sale, securing the nine-time All-Star through the 2027 season. The deal includes a $30 million club option for 2028.
At 36, Sale was set to hit free agency but remains with the Braves after posting a dominant 3.6 fWAR season in 2024, which helped him win the NL Cy Young Award.
