The beginning pitcher commerce market is open for enterprise.
The Reds traded former Yankee Sonny Grey and minor league right-hander Francis Peguero to Minnesota for his or her 2021 first-round decide, pitcher Chase Petty, per a number of studies.
Grey, 32, had a 4.19 ERA final season and would have probably been the fourth or fifth starter in a stable Cincinnati rotation. As an alternative, he’ll slot in as a reliable veteran for a Minnesota staff coming off a horrible 2021 and trying to retool.
It’s curious that the Twins would surrender Petty, the twenty sixth decide within the draft final summer time, for an older starter when the staff is unlikely to compete this season.
Grey, although, has a stable historical past — he was an All-Star as lately as 2019 — and fills a necessity for them.
As for the Reds, they offload Grey’s contract, which is able to see him paid $10.2 million this season with a $12 million membership choice for 2023, and get a first-round pitcher again within the course of.
Cincinnati’s rotation, although, will get thinner on the again finish, with a contest incoming for the final two spots.
