Former Toronto Blue Jays executive and now MLB analyst, Keith Law, believes the Boston Red Sox made the right call trading for Sonny Gray.

Boston acquired Gray and $20 million from the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday for pitchers Richard Fitts and Brandon Clarke. Gray helps bolster the Red Sox’s rotation, and Law, who now writes for The Athletic, believes it was a smart move from Boston to make.

“I think he can bounce back and be an above-average starter for the Red Sox, who are only paying a minimum of $21 million for his services this year, including the buyout of the 2027 mutual option, should they choose not to retain him,” Law wrote in a piece published on Tuesday. “Given the cost in talent, this is a no-brainer for Boston.”

Gray is a veteran starter who’s pitched in the AL East
