Heyman notes that other teams have kicked the tires on players such as Eugenio Suarez but Sonny Gray has been drawing the most interest, and rightfully so. Gray is still relatively young at 31-years old and is under contract for the next two seasons at an affordable price, a little over $10 million per year. He also has a $12 million club option for 2023. He's coming off a solid 2020 in which he registered a 3.70 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 72:26 K/BB ratio over 56 innings. He would make for a welcome addition to any team looking to beef up their starting rotation.

Sonny Gray is drawing trade interest from several teams and the Reds are gauging offers, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.

Gray has been been linked to trade rumors since November, following Ken Rosenthal report, as his team-friendly contract--he's under control for three more seasons at a decent price--make him an attractive candidate. Heyman didn't name any teams but given Gray's recent performance in Cincinnati, (3.70 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 72:26 K/BB ratio over 56 innings in 2020) he would be a great fit for any contending team looking to shore up their rotation in 2021. It all depends on what kind of haul the Reds could get in return. Stay tuned as the ice cold stove starts to heat up, maybe.

MLB insider Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Cincinnati Reds are open to trading Sonny Gray this offseason. The Reds are already almost certain to lose Trevor Bauer in free agency, but Gray's recent performance and affordable contract make him an attractive trade chip.

After a couple of down years with the Yankees and Athletics, Gray returned to his former All-Star form with the Reds in 2019 and 2020 and is still under team control for three more seasons at reasonable prices.
