Sonny Gray trade grades: Why Red Sox and Cardinals both get an 'A' in deal for veteran starter
The Red Sox and Cardinals agreed to a three-player trade on Tuesday that will send veteran starter Sonny Gray to Boston in exchange for right-hander Richard Fitts and lefty Brandon Clarke. The Cardinals are also expected to send $20 million to the Red Sox to help pay down Gray's salary.
Long in search of a No. 2 starter, the Red Sox acquired right-hander Sonny Gray on Tuesday in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals. Boston sent right-hander Richard Fitts and left-handed pitching prospect Brandon Clarke to St. Louis for the 36-year-old Gray, who went 14-8 with a 4.28 ERA over 32 starts last season.
