The Boston Red Sox stunned much of the league earlier on Tuesday when they completed a trade for starting pitcher Sonny Gray, a move that initially appeared impossible on paper. Gray’s contract with the St. Louis Cardinals included a full no-trade clause, giving him the authority to block any deal.

The Boston Red Sox made their first major move of the offseason, trading for St. Louis Cardinals star pitcher Sonny Gray, but don't expect this to be their last big move this winter.

In 2025, Gray struck out 201 hitters while walking only 38 over 32 starts.
