Plus
- Keep #116 on the 300. Tradable, not a 1.01.
- On 17 boards — not a one-list darling.
- 2.16 ERA in 129.0 IP. The arm is doing the job this year.
Minus
- Age 37 is a dynasty tax even when 2026 is loud.
- Board spread is 157 ranks. You are betting with one camp, not a unanimous tape.
BaseBallKeep Take
Chris Sale is #116 on BaseBallKeep's overall dynasty 300, a 23-source mix anchored by RotoGraphs (Aug 14) and The Dynasty Guru points list (Aug 10). SP for ATL. BK's Pitchers #32. Rest-of-season redraft #107. MLB since 2010. From Lakeland / USA. Bats L, throws L.
BK Value on this rank is 765. Same decaying curve as football: 12,000 at 1.01, a late first a fraction of that. If someone is asking for two firsts, run the calculator. 2026 line: 2.16 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 160 K in 129.0 IP.
The 23-board average is 115.35 on 17 lists that actually ranked him — unranked sources are skipped, never treated as 999. High 39, low 196.
Dynasty pays the next five years. Redraft pays September. If those two ranks diverge, that is the instruction: hold the kid or cash the veteran.
Flags fly forever. We will refresh this file with The Keep. September baseball is a proving ground, not a coronation.
