Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow made it clear that he had starting pitching additions on his offseason shopping list. He got to work early.
The Red Sox have acquired veteran starting pitcher Sonny Gray from the St. Louis Cardinals, reported by MLB insider Jon Heyman. Gray has one year remaining on his three-year contract and a club option for another season in 2027. St. Louis' return has not yet been reported. The 36-year-old had a full no-trade clause on his contract, and agreed to a trade to Boston.
Breslow linked up with former Red Sox chief baseball officer, Chaim Bloom, how is now the president of baseball operations in the Cardinals front office.
