Reds Making Progress In Sonny Gray Talks
6 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds are making progress in trade talks for New York Yankees starting pitcher Sonny Gray, according to insider Jon Heyman. The Reds are considering dealing two prospects and a draft pick to acquire Gray. The Braves, Brewers and Giants are also thought to be considering a trade for Gray. If Gray were to be dealt to Cincinnati, he'd be reunited with his former pitching coach in college, Derek Johnson. The veteran right-hander has not fared well in his two seasons with the Yankees and was even demoted to the bullpen late last year and left off the playoff roster. It's believed that a change of scenery and a move out of the American League East will do him well, but a move to hitter-friendly Cincinnati wouldn't exactly be the best landing spot for Gray. He'd be worth a late-round flier in deep mixed leagues if he's guaranteed a rotation spot with a new team, but the Reds wouldn't be the best match from a fantasy perspective.
