Atlanta Braves Extend Chris Sale with $27 Million 2027 Contract
Chris Sale’s extension removes contract uncertainty and secures Atlanta’s ace amid rotation injuries with a $27 million 2027 salary and $30 million option for 2028.
- Chris Sale, a left-handed pitcher, and the Atlanta Braves agreed to a one-year, $27 million contract extension for the 2027 season, with a $30 million club option for 2028.
- Sale, who was acquired by the Braves from the Boston Red Sox before the 2024 season, immediately won his first Cy Young Award and has pitched to a 2.46 ERA in over 300 innings for Atlanta.
- While Sale has dealt with injuries in recent seasons, including a rib fracture in 2025, the Braves viewed the continuity and potential benefits of retaining the 36-year-old ace as outweighing the risks.
