Chris Sale thought Braves were crazy to trade for him -- now the only crazy part is how well it's worked out

Chris Sale initially thought the Atlanta Braves were making a mistake when executive Alex Anthopoulos traded for him, joking that Anthopoulos should have been drug tested for the decision. However, the deal has proven to be a major success, with Sale going on to win the Cy Young Award in the three years since the trade. Sale has since acknowledged that his skepticism was unfounded given how well things have worked out.
