Braves General Manager Sends Definitive Final Word on Chris Sale Trade Rumors
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. "Will. Not. Happen. Bold, italicize it, caps." Those were the words of Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos on the radio ahead of the team's win against the Mets on Wednesday when the rumors were brought up about the organization trading Chris Sale. Sale would certainly be a hot commodity, but Anthopoulos made it very clear the southpaw wouldn't be dealt away despite the team being several games under .500 this season. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 18: Chris Sale #51 of the Atlanta Braves reacts during the ninth inning against the New York Mets at Truist Park on June 18, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 18: Chris Sale #51 of the Atlanta Braves reacts during the ninth inning against the New York Mets at Truist Park on June 18, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia."Zero (chance)," Anthopoulos said on 680 "The Fan". "I've seen the speculation and that's why -- it's completely ridiculous to me. We're not selling, especially someone that has club control beyond the current year. Will not happen." Sale has recorded a 2.52 ERA this season for the Braves through his first 15 starts. Even at 36 years old, he's one of the best pitchers in the game and gives his team a chance to win every time he takes the mound. Anthopoulos doubled down and even gave Braves fans some insight into what may happen in the near future. "I never make definitive statements unless I'm going to stick to them," said Anthopoulos. "Because once you make definitive statements and then you go back on them, you're a liar and you're done. ... Will. Not. Happen. Bold, italicize it, caps. So much so, that I'm trying to make a trade now in June just to signal to everybody, 'Hey, we will not sell.'" It's not very often you see a general manager go as far as telling the fanbase they'll add someone to silence rumors about the team's ace being traded away. However, it's safe to say at this point any teams that got excited about Sale potentially being on the market need to go back to the drawing board and find a new deadline target.

Francisco Lindor Assigns Blame After Mets' Loss to Braves
Francisco Lindor Assigns Blame After Mets' Loss to Braves originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets' struggles with runners in scoring position have gone from a recurring frustration to a defining weakness. Advertisement In Tuesday night's 5-0 shutout loss to the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park, the Mets were once again stifled in key moments. Atlanta left-hander Chris Sale dominated, tossing eight scoreless innings and striking out eight, as the Mets went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded six men on base. The defeat marked New York's fifth straight loss and underscored a pattern that's haunted them all season: the inability to convert opportunities into runs. For a lineup built around big bats, the Mets are consistently coming up empty when it matters most. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (12)© Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports This isn't an isolated slump. On May 23 against the Dodgers, the Mets went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position in a 13-inning loss, failing to score even with automatic runners on in extras. During a series against Arizona, they hit just 4-for-29 with runners in scoring position, including another 0-for-10 performance. Advertisement All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor acknowledged his role in the team's offensive stagnation, assigning the blame to himself. 'I can definitely get better,' Lindor said postgame. 'I can get on base for Pete, for Soto, for the rest of the guys. I can run the bases better. At the end of the day, it's tough to win games when your leadoff guy is not getting on base.' His self-awareness reflects a team grappling with execution. Despite having sluggers like Pete Alonso and Juan Soto anchoring the lineup, the Mets' inability to create momentum at the top of the order continues to stall rallies and squander chances. Advertisement Compounding the issue are defensive lapses—particularly in the infield—that have extended innings and added pressure to a staff already working with little margin for error. Now, as the Mets prepare to close out the series in Atlanta, their margin for error while chasing postseason contention is quickly eroding.
