The Boston Red Sox are shaping up to be sellers at the MLB trade deadline, with the likes of Aroldis Chapman and Sonny Gray coveted by multiple teams. While no deal is imminent, we might have some idea of two clubs to keep an eye on for Gray.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote that he expects Boston will pay Gray his $10 million mutual option to help facilitate a trade and move the All-Star pitcher to a club of his choosing. He also specifically mentioned the Atlanta Braves and Chicago White Sox as two potential clubs who Gray might want to play for.

Sonny Gray contract (Spotrac): $11 million salary in 2026, $30 million mutual option for 2027
Gray, age 36, is a three-time All-Star selection. The $10 million would cover the increased buyout on the final year of his contract, which is first a club option. If an acquiring team decided to exercise the $30 million option for 2027, Gray would then have the choice of opting into the contract or declining it and foregoing the buyout to enter MLB free agency.
