Sonny Gray

Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com adds that it's a one-year deal with a mutual option for the 2027 season, though the financial terms of the contract are not yet known. The 28-year-old hurler compiled a 4.96 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and a 123/56 K/BB ratio over 132 1/3 innings in 25 appearances between the Dodgers and Red Sox in 2025. He'll add stability to a Cardinals' rotation that has already dealt away ace Sonny Gray this offseason.

While the Red Sox are hopeful that Triston Casas will be able to return early during the 2026 season, it sounds like they're trying to secure a backup plan just to be on the safe side. The Red Sox already completed one trade with the Cardinals -- acquiring right-hander Sonny Gray -- and it's unclear if the discussions around Contreras were a part of those talks or a separate discussion. Even if a deal were to be consummated, the 33-year-old slugger holds a full no-trade clause and would need to approve the swap.
