The Boston Red Sox made a big splash on the trade market to improve their starting rotation.
The Red Sox acquired right-hander Sonny Gray and cash from the St. Louis Cardinals for right-hander Richard Fitts, pitching prospect Brandon Clarke, and a player to be named later or cash, the clubs announced Tuesday.
The Cardinals are sending $20 million to the Red Sox to cover Gray's 2026 salary, reports ESPN's Jeff Passan.
