Chris Sale's name has been floating around in trade rumors, and the Atlanta Braves general manager put any all speculation to rest ahead of the trade deadline.

The Braves may part ways with ace Chris Sale amid a disappointing season and after the Rafael Devers trade, per MLB insiders.

The Atlanta Braves are rapidly approaching a breaking point in their 2025 campaign. At 32-39, they’re not only well behind the NL East-leading Mets but also sitting seven games out of a Wild Card spot.

Spencer Strider had another strong outing for the Atlanta Braves in the 7-1 win over the Mets on Thursday. He pitched six innings of one-run ball en route to the Braves picking up the sweep. He allowed five hits and a walk while striking out eight.

Braves manager Brian Snitker: "Hopefully, that's the start of something really good that we continue to build on."
