The Boston Red Sox’ starting pitcher Sonny Gray is officially entering free agency after his $30 million mutual option for the 2027 season was declined. The decision means that his stay with Boston is now set to come to an end after just one year , with the success he had in the previous season now likely to result in a more lucrative multi-year contract. Gray is now set to receive a $10 million buyout and is officially a free agent, per a post on X by Tim Healey.
