Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Sonny Gray was recently traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Boston Red Sox. Gray had been on the Reds' radar the past few seasons — even after signing a three-year deal with the Cardinals in 2023 — but a reunion this offseason was never in the cards, in part due to the massive $35 million salary he's owed for the upcoming 2026 season.
But Gray has always been a fan-favorite in Cincinati. The right-hander was traded to the Reds back in 2019 after he fell out of favor with the New York Yankees.
