Chris Sale Dismisses Hall of Fame Odds After Cy Young Win: 'Got a Lot of Work to Do'

Chris Sale's Hall of Fame odds improved when he won his first Cy Young Award on Wednesday, but the Atlanta Braves pitcher isn't concerned with earning a spot in Cooperstown right now.

Per The Athletic's David O'Brien, Sale joked about being in the same conversation with Braves Cy Young Award winners and Hall of Famers like Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz before rebuffing the idea that being included with those names can increase his Hall of Fame chances.

"I've got a lot of work to do if that's the case," Sale said.
