Sonny Gray Commits to Playing in 2027, Heads to Free Agency
The 37-year-old righty put retirement rumors to rest, saying the family decision was easy and he still wants to win a World Series.
Sonny Gray told the Boston Globe via text that he and his family have decided he will continue pitching in 2027. Gray posted a 2.72 ERA over 169 innings for Boston this season, with a 3.47 FIP suggesting genuine effectiveness. His mutual option with the Cardinals — converted from a club option when he waived his no-trade clause — is expected to go unexercised, making him a free agent. Gray has expressed a preference for East Coast teams and could command a multi-year deal given his recent performance.
