Sonny Gray Stats

The possibility of Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Graybeing traded might be fading. This comes after general manager Nick Krall squashed rumors of a supposed trade that would have sent right-hander Luis Castillo to the Yankees on Sunday. The Reds asked the Yankees for shortstop Gleyber Torres, but that request was turned down. Cincy is telling other teams that they now intend to keep Castillo. The 31-year-old Gray is owed $20 million over the next two seasons and has a $12 million team option for the 2023 season. Gray had a 3.07 ERA with a 10.8 K/9 the last two years for Cincinnati. The right-hander could still be traded in an offseason that has featured a busy starting pitcher trade market. Gray could be an even more attractive No. 2 starting pitcher in fantasy leagues if he lands in a more favorable position.

The San Diego Padres are looking for another starting pitcher and have interest in Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray. Mike Clevinger (elbow) is set to miss all of the 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. San Diego's payroll in 2021 will likely be lower than last season's non-prorated Opening Day mark of around $150 million. That means that Gray could fit in the team's payroll constraints for next season, as he's guaranteed an affordable $20 million over the next two seasons. The 31-year-old has improved his value in the last two seasons with Cincy and had a 3.70 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 72 strikeouts and 26 walks in 56 innings in the shortened 2020 season. Gray would be even more attractive to fantasy managers in San Diego with a better lineup around him.

Several teams are showing interest in trading for Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray, and the Reds are gauging interest around the league. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported last month that Cincinnati was open to moving the right-hander. The New York Post's Joel Sherman wrote last Friday that the team was "working hard" to trade him. The 31-year-old will make $20 million over 2021-2022 and had a 3.07 ERA with a 10.8 K/9 in his two seasons with the Reds, but Cincy is also likely to lose National League Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer in free agency. If the Reds deal Gray, they'll almost certainly make a few free-agent pitching additions, and they are also said to be prioritizing the addition of a starting shortstop.
