The Boston Red Sox have reportedly acquired right-handed pitcher Sonny Gray from the St. Louis Cardinals. The deal, which was not officially announced as of Tuesday, is a significant move for the Red Sox as they bolster their pitching staff. Gray brings a wealth of experience to Boston, having spent 13 seasons in the major leagues with multiple teams.
Last season, the 36-year-old Gray achieved a 14-8 win-loss record with a 4.28 earned run average for the Cardinals. His career statistics include a 125-102 record and a 3.58 ERA, along with three All-Star Game selections. This acquisition is expected to enhance the Red Sox's competitive edge.
In return for Gray, the Cardinals are set to receive right-handed pitcher Richard Fitts and a yet-to-be-named prospect. Fitts, who is nearing his 26th birthday, had a 2-4 record and a 5.00 ERA as a rookie with Boston last season. The Cardinals will also acquire 22-year-old left-handed pitcher Brandon Clarke, a fifth-round draft pick who has played in Single-A.
