Red Sox acquired RHP Sonny Gray and cash from the Cardinals for LHP Brandon Clarke, RHP Richard Fitts and a player to be named or cash.Boston gets the postseason-caliber starter it needed without having to make a long-term commitment. The Cardinals will chip in $20 million of the $40 million (now $41 million after a trade kicker) Gray was owed in the final year of his backloaded three-year, $75 million contract. $10 million of that $40 million comes in the form of a buyout of a $30 million mutual option for 2028. Gray had a 4.28 ERA last season, but it came with a 201/38 K/BB in 180 2/3 innings. After dealing with some mid-career durability issues, he's made 92 starts the last three seasons, striking out 587 hitters over 531 innings. He'll join Garrett Crochet and Brayan Bello in Boston's rotation, with Paxton Crawford currently favored for the fourth spot and then Patrick Sandoval, Connelly Early, Payton Tolle and Kyle Harrison potentially battling it out for the fifth.
