This might finally be the end of Sonny Gray’s New York adventure.
The Yankees and Reds reportedly are finalizing a trade that would send the beleaguered starter to Cincinnati, according to a tweet by Jon Heyman.
Final trade details haven’t been ironed out, but the Yankees would receive infield prospect Shed Long, a draft pick and potentially a third piece.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman made it clear from the beginning of the offseason he intended to trade Gray, but the market was slow to develop.
After CC Sabathia’s surprise heart surgery, it was thought the Yankees might hold onto Gray as rotation insurance, but Cashman remained determined to unload the disappointing starter who finished last season in the bullpen and was left off the playoff roster entirely.
Gray came to The Bronx in a 2017 trade-deadline deal with the A’s and compiled a 15-16 record with a 4.51 ERA in 41 appearances (34 starts) for the Yankees.
