Sonny Gray Set Up for Strong First Season in Boston
After two seasons as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, veteran starting pitcher Sonny Gray was acquired by the Boston Red Sox in late November. With Boston, the 36-year-old looks locked in as the team's number three starter behind ace Garrett Crochet and fellow offseason acquisition Ranger Suarez. Across 180 2/3 innings (32 starts) with St. Louis in 2025, Gray posted a 14-8 record with a 4.28 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 201 strikeouts. While Gray's ERA represented his worst mark since 2018, he still recorded strong numbers under the hood with a 21.6% K-BB rate. Gray's 5% walk rate was the best mark of his career, so he could be in for a better overall line if his opponent batting average on balls in play of .329 regresses closer to his career mark of .288. Gray should also be in a good position to rack up wins while pitching in front of a strong Boston lineup. As long as he stays healthy, Gray profiles as a solid fantasy SP3 for 2026.
