The SF Giants are looking to improve their starting rotation this offseason, but one candidate they were linked to is off the board as Sonny Gray has been traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Boston Red Sox.
This is not a surprising move since the Cardinals appear to be entering a rebuilding phase and Gray's hefty contract is one they were eager to offload. The Giants were seen as a logical suitor for Gray given their need for starting pitching, but now they will have to look elsewhere.
