Red Sox unlikely to bring back Sonny Gray after strong season
The Boston Red Sox are reportedly unlikely to make re-signing Sonny Gray a priority, despite his standout 2026 season. The veteran pitcher has said he wants to pursue a World Series title, whether in Boston or elsewhere, and is expected to attract strong interest as a free agent.
Gray declined a mutual option worth $30 million for 2027 and received a $10 million buyout, becoming a free agent last week. He posted a 2.72 ERA in 29 starts, but his final Boston appearance ended with him being pulled in the fifth inning of a wild-card game against the Yankees; he later criticised the decision. Gray turns 37 on Saturday and is among the leading starting pitchers available this offseason.
In short
- Boston may not prioritise bringing back Sonny Gray.
- Gray had a 2.72 ERA across 29 starts in 2026.
- He is expected to be one of the offseason’s most sought-after pitchers.
