Chris Sale and Raisel Iglesias were also named as pitchers for The Sporting News NL All-Star Team, as well! Despite the fact that the World Series hasn’t even started yet, that hasn’t stopped award season from kicking off and the first organization to announce their winners is the Sporting News. They’ve also announced their All-Star teams for both the American League and the National League for 2024. As it turns out, Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale is on both of those lists.
Chris Sale was announced as The Sporting News NL Comeback Player of the Year Award and he also made it onto the Sporting News 2024 NL All-Star Team as the starting pitcher.

For Sale, this honor is very likely the first of many for him here in the offseason. He’s the odds-on favorite to win the NL Cy Young Award and he’s also been nominated for a couple of MLBPA Players Choice Awards as well — one of which is their NL Comeback Player of the Year Award, so this certainly bodes well for Sale in that regard.
Meanwhile, Raisel Iglesias joined Chris Sale on the Sporting News NL All-Star Team as a relief pitcher. He joined Ryan Helsley as the two relievers tied for the honors.
