Sonny Gray A Target For Braves?
1 year agoFree-agent right-hander Sonny Gray, who hails from nearby Tennessee and attended Vanderbilt University, has "emerged as a strong possibility" for the Atlanta Braves this offseason. The Braves want to add a starter in free agency and are willing to pay up to get one, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. Left-hander Max Fried made only 14 starts in 2023 due to injuries and ended the regular season on the injured list. Right-hander Charlie Morton also missed the NLDS due to a finger injury, so the team was forced to rely on Bryce Elder in Game 3. Fried and Morton are both eligible for free agency after the 2024 season. Gray, 34, made his third All-Star team in 2023 and went 8-8 with a 2.79 ERA (league-best 2.83 FIP) and 1.15 WHIP with 183 K's in 184 innings for the Minnesota Twins.
