Newest Red Sox starting pitcher Sonny Gray has pitched for one major-market team — the New York Yankees — in his career and the experience went poorly.

The Texas Rangers reduced their 2025 payroll by non-tendering outfielder Adolis Garcia and catcher Jonah Heim and trading second baseman Marcus Semien for outfielder Brandon Nimmo. Realmuto would fill a need, and the Rangers are the team closest to his native Del City, Okla. But for a team cutting payroll, his price might be too high.

A Red Sox pitcher who threw a no-hitter against Cleveland in 1965 and finished his career with the Royals died at 82.
