Cardinals get AL Cy Young runner-up Sonny Gray to anchor revamped starting rotation

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 19:57:38 GMT

The St. Louis Cardinals made their biggest splash yet in an attempt to revamp their lackluster rotation, agreeing with AL Cy Young runner-up Sonny Gray on a three-year contract Monday to anchor their staff heading into next season.John Mozeliak, the Cardinals' president of baseball operations, already had signed free agent right-handers Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn to one-year deals. Mozeliak indicated during a news conference announcing their arrivals that the Cardinals were not done, saying “this is not the finish line” and that “there's still a lot of work to be done.”Turns out the work produced the 34-year-old Gray, who went 8-8 with a 2.79 ERA for Minnesota last season. Gray turned down a qualifying offer from the Twins, and St. Louis will lose its second-highest pick in next year's amateur draft for signing him.The Cardinals finished 71-91 last season for their worst record since 1995, and the biggest culprit was their poor pitching. Their rotation had a 5.08 ERA, fifth worst in...
