  1. Sorry, I know you are trying to be charitable and unbiased, but no. Wheeler had no LEGITIMATE case for being the Cy Young winner over Sale. That's a joke.
    I know wins "don't matter" for the Cy Young vote but last I checked unless something changed on like the last day of the season Sale was not only the pitching triple crown winner for the NL but for all of MLB. He lead all of MLB in Ks, wins and ERA. If it's an alternate universe where I have 2024 Wheeler and Sale on the same team and were going into a Game 7 scenario im choosing Sale and not even spending a moment thinking about it. I don't care who is in the opposing lineup, I don't care if we're home or away. There's no situation where I take 2024 Wheeler over 2024 Sale, or for that matter ANY pitcher in 2024 over Sale. He was the best. Hands down, no questions!

  6. I watched or listened to all of the Braves games this year, when the day that Chris was supposed to pitch, I felt so good that I started my day happy and excited. Thank you Chris, you deserve the Cy Young award for sure. 👍

  8. I don’t see the Braves having a consistent CY Young winner with the current ownership and management. Their MO is to use pitchers early in their career and late in their career. They’re not going to pay a top pitcher the market salary during their prime years. They tend to spread their money out rather than concentrate on one ACE.

  10. I’m so glad AA traded for Chris Sale. He’s such a great addition for the Braves. After the trade there was some speculation as to whether it was the right move. Well there’s absolutely no question about that now. One of the best trades the Braves have made in years. GO BRAVES 2025

  13. I really wanted to watch Fried and Sale together for a couple of years. Dinamic, lefty duo that would've continued to push each other and learn from each other.
