The Red Sox have the means to get a massive deal done in free agency or maybe even swing a deal. Boston could afford everyone, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that it will open the checkbook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ttqyl4b8k\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">A trade could be an interesting way for the Red Sox to add another piece, and three-time All-Star Sonny Gray surprisingly could be available. He currently pitches for the St. Louis Cardinals and signed a three-year, $75 million contract ahead of the 2024 season. He has two more years on his deal, but USA Today Sports&#8217; Bob Nightengale said the Cardinals\u00a0may trade him to cut salary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_x9rwignct\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">&#8220;The St. Louis Cardinals, who will announce a series of personnel moves on Monday with Chaim Bloom taking on a greater role, plan to shop veteran starter Sonny Gray while reducing payroll,&#8221; Nightengale said. &#8220;Gray, who signed a three-year, $75 million contract last winter, has a full-no trade clause, with the Cincinnati Reds expected to be among the team aggressively pursuing him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_7sjq3i35w\">Gray has a no-trade clause, which could complicate things. If he doesn&#8217;t want to come to Boston, he won&#8217;t, simple as that. Financially, he isn&#8217;t very expensive, and Boston has plenty of good, young prospects they could trade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_mz6j0b7rz\">Bloom played a large hand in improving the Red Sox&#8217;s farm system. Maybe there are some players he would like to bring to St. Louis for Gray?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could the Red Sox add the star hurler this winter?
