I actually think the Strider injury makes Sale’s health far more important than it might otherwise have necessitated; the Braves got a highest-ceiling starter with health being the main thing holding him back in exchange for a player who was blocked from their team. Now thankfully Fried seems to have pulled out of his early season nosedive but yeah, Sale staying healthy until at least the deadline has become extremely necessary in a way that it wasn’t when he signed.

Agreed to terms on a lifetime contract with the @Mets, with a signing bonus of extra biscuits. I will now open it up for questions. pic.twitter.com/74f7WHM1Yh— Buddy (@MetsVetDog) May 3, 2024

There's also other action on the stove regarding a certain .400 hitter.

Clemenza high on Sale after one month is peak... something.
Oh, I know, I'm jumping the gun as always. I just wasn't sure if he'd be effective at all, for even a few starts. His ERA since his last good year in 2018 was over 4.00 coming into 2024, and he's a year older. I definitely didn't expect him to be leading the Braves in IP, even just barely into May.

Maybe they'll have to literally sit him down for a month if they view him as key to post-season success.

Friars get Arraez, fish get Dillon Head, Woo Suk-Go, Jakob Marsee and Nathan Martorella.

I'm a real Dillon Head... I even like the early '80s albums
