MLB: Top starting pitchers still available at the deadline

Sonny Gray

The obvious candidate to don a new uniform come July 31st, Sonny Gray seems destined to be traded after years of speculation.

And, boy, there are a lot of teams in on him.

The New York Yankees checked in on him, but don’t want to give up their top prospects, such as Clint Frazier and Gleyber Torres, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.

Somehow, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Cubs inquired on the possibility of landing Gray, even after the Quintana deal.

Another National League Central team, the Milwaukee Brewers appear to be the leaders for Gray’s services, though, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.

Even the Cleveland Indians have thought about landing Gray to shore up the rotation, as ESPN’s Buster Olney reported.

Also, we can’t rule out the Houston Astros making a run at him, too. As a division rival, they know what he is capable of.

The massive amount of interest is warranted, as Gray doesn’t become a free agent until 2020 and is just a 27-year-old who has had a few ace-like seasons under his belt and in his two postseason starts he went 13 innings and allowed just three runs total for an ERA of 2.08. That was in his rookie campaign.

Expect for Gray to be on the move, potentially in the next couple of days.
