It’s official. According to John Heyman, the St. Louis Cardinals have traded Sonny Gray and $20 million to the Boston Red Sox. MLB insider Jeff Passan has revealed the return to be pitching prospects Brandon Clarke and Richard Fitts. This makes the two teams trade partners once again, having dealt Steven Matz to Boston at the deadline for Blaze Jordan. With new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom coming from the Boston Red Sox, he has plenty of information on Boston’s prospects.
Fitts is a right-handed pitcher who was ranked as the Red Sox' 12th best prospect in 2024.
