Despite the Red Sox’s historic winning run, there’s still a case for trading Sonny Gray
If Boston Red Sox fans heard in mid-June that the team would have a winning record two weeks out from the trade deadline, most probably wouldn't have believed it. It would've been even harder to believe that they went on a 15-game winning streak to get there, but Boston has fully leaned into the improbable.
One of the most underwhelming teams in the American League at the beginning of the season went from an obvious trade deadline seller (with plenty of top talent that could've been dealt) to a buyer in about three weeks. Many teams that were hoping to reach out to Boston for trade deadline reinforcements such as Sonny Gray and Aroldis Chapman will now have to seek help elsewhere.
Red Sox's Sonny Gray is prime extension candidate
Sonny Gray was expected to be a rental option when he was acquired by the Boston Red Sox during the 2025-26 offseason.
Although Gray is nominally under team control through 2027, it seemed unlikely that the Red Sox would pick up his $30 million team option. He had posted a 4.07 ERA and a 1.164 WHIP over his 347 innings between 2024 and 2025, striking out 404 batters with 77 walks. While that is solid production from a middle-of-the-rotation starter, he likely would not have received $30 million as a free agent.
That narrative has changed. Gray has emerged as a co-ace for the Red Sox, posting a 2.48 ERA and a 1.121 WHIP over his 101.2 innings entering Thursday, striking out 90 batters with 28 walks. He leads the majors in wins (12) and winning percentage (.923) as the Red Sox have lost only four of his 18 starts.
