Red Sox trade for Sonny Gray

The Boston Red Sox have acquired starting pitcher Sonny Gray from the St. Louis Cardinals. Gray waived his no-trade clause, and will essentially get $41 million for 1 year. Boston is sending Brandon Clarke and Richard Fitts to St. Louis in exchange for Gray, but are also receiving $20 million back from the Cardinals. The right hander went 14-8 last season with a 4.28 earned run average in 32 starts, striking out 201 in 180.2 innings.
