Free agent pitcher Sonny Gray is being projected to leave the Boston Red Sox and sign with a National League contender, according to a report from Baseball Now on Yahoo Sports. The veteran right-hander, who has spent recent seasons in the American League, could be on the move as the MLB offseason progresses.
The prediction comes from analyst Aaliyan Mohammed, who suggests Gray's next destination will be a competitive NL club seeking rotation depth. Gray, a three-time All-Star, has posted a 3.47 career ERA across stints with the Oakland Athletics, New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, Minnesota Twins, and most recently the Red Sox.
No specific National League teams were named in the report, but several playoff-caliber clubs are expected to pursue starting pitching upgrades this winter. Gray's experience and durability make him an attractive target for teams aiming to bolster their rotation for a postseason push.
