The Boston Red Sox have been shockingly vocal about their offseason plans after years of vague promises to compete while accounting for the future. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said he's looking for starting pitching, and on November 25, he got some.
The Red Sox traded for veteran starter and three-time Cy Young Award vote recipient Sonny Gray from the St. Louis Cardinals. Boston sent pitcher Richard Fitts and top pitching prospect Brandon Clarke to St. Louis in the deal, and the Cardinals ate $20 million of Gray's $41 million salary for 2026.
Gray fits the profile of a pitcher Breslow would covet.
