3 best Sonny Gray landing spots with Phillies possibly out of running

1. Boston Red Sox

There has been no indication as of yet that the Red Sox are one of the teams in the Gray sweepstakes. But they could sure use a frontline starter to bolster their rotation, and Gray could help with that.

Much like the Cardinals, the Red Sox were felled by their lack of starting pitching depth, much less a top-of-the-line starter. Gray briefly pitched in the AL East during his time with the Red Sox's hated rivals — the New York Yankees, so it wouldn't exactly be unfamiliar territory for the veteran right-hander.

The Red Sox were actually in contention for much of the 2023 season, but a September swoon sunk them to last place in the AL East for the second consecutive year as they finished with a record of 78-84.

But for a team that has plenty of financial resources and a history of winning, it would certainly make sense to target somebody like Gray to try and bounce back into postseason contention and bring back the glory days in the City of Boston.

Having Gray next to Brayan Bello, the team's homegrown ace, would certainly be a good start for them as they try to build a contender.
