Braves One Of The Top Suitors For Sonny Gray
1 year agoThe Atlanta Braves are one of the top suitors for free-agent right-hander Sonny Gray, according to sources. The Braves had also spoken to Aaron Nola's camp before he re-signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The Minnesota Twins, Gray's former team, and the St. Louis Cardinals and Phillies have all been linked to Gray so far this offseason, although the Phillies probably are now out of the running after bringing back Nola. The Braves are planning to increase payroll in 2024 and made a series of moves last weekend to open 10 spots on their 40-man roster while also shaving almost $14 million from their budget. Gray had his best season in 2023 with Minnesota, posting a 2.79 ERA in 184 innings to finish second in AL Cy Young voting. The three-time All-Star could be the successor to Charlie Morton.
