[Deadspin, December 30, 2023] Atlanta Braves acquire washed-up pitcher

1. I still can’t get over the Sox trading Sale, not because he was washed but because it had been years since his last healthy season, and he went out and did this while the guy he was traded for was hurt or recovering from being hurt/sick all fucking season. That was some real fucking pre 2004 Sox shit right there.

2. I didn’t realize Deadspin was still around.

3. If the Red Sox don’t eat a significant portion of his salary, he’s never traded, and he puts up a great season for the Red Sox. I know Park factors, defense etc, but for giggles, if he does put up identical numbers playing for the Red Sox, who gets your vote, him or Tarik Skubal?

4. “Sale likely became expendable after the Red Sox signed Lucas Giolito to a two-year deal.”

   As if this title alone couldn’t have aged more poorly

5. 🫠

6. Thanks, Boston.

7. Man, I hope they enjoyed eating that crow.

8. Don’t bother posting zombie Deadspin, even to dunk on them.

9. I’m sure he had a fantastic post season

10. Well this aged well lol

11. The Red Sox at least got a ring out of Sale. White Sox got a latin pop album.

12. Alright but a lot of you need to be fair here to this washed up publication of record. Most of us thought the same thing. No one thought he would do anything outside of the Braves and their fans and that was hopium.

13. *Zombie Deadspin

14. Vichy Deadspin might unironically be worse than the New York Post
