Cardinals Sonny Gray reportedly agree to 3 year $75 million contract

One more pitcher has come off the free-agent market. The St. Louis Cardinals and starting pitcher Sonny Gray have reportedly agreed to a three-year, $75 million contract, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Gray, 34, is fresh off two impressive years with the Minnesota Twins. His 2023 season was particularly excellent: He had a 2.79 ERA over 32 starts and 181 innings and finished second in the American League Cy Young voting. For the fourth time in his career, he started over 30 games and surpassed 175 innings pitched. He missed no time for injury, a characteristic of his best seasons.

The 2024 season will be Gray's 12th year in the majors, and the Cardinals will be his fifth team. He debuted with the Oakland Athletics in 2013, then headed to the New York Yankees after a midseason trade in 2017. Gray's time in the Bronx was largely a disaster, but he blossomed after a trade to the Cincinnati Reds prior to the 2019 season. While he battled injuries, he also underwent a pitching renaissance, which ultimately led him to the Twins.
