Baseball Is Dead Episode 179: Braves Acquire Chris Sale

2024 is here and so is the first BID episode of the New Year! Today we’re breaking down the trade that sent Chris Sale to the Braves and Vaughn Grissom to the Red Sox. We’re talking about the value on both sides of the deal plus Chris Sale’s potential impact in 2024. The Red Sox also signed friend of the program Lucas Giolito to a 2-year deal and we’re examining the structure of the contract. We also acknowledge the Wander Franco situation, talk about Ortiz’s swing and miss gender reveal, talk HOF ballots, and round it out with our Yankees Mt. Rushmore and 2011 MVP Hindsight segment. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you next week!
