Sonny Gray’s Future With Red Sox Lands $25 Million Update

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Sonny Gray is projected to return to the team on a one-year, $25 million contract, according to analysis by FanSided's John Perrotto. The 36-year-old right-hander posted an 18-5 record with a 2.72 ERA across 29 starts in 2026. After initially floating retirement following Boston's playoff exit against the New York Yankees, Gray confirmed his intention to pitch in 2027.

Gray's current contract includes a $30 million mutual option for 2027 with a $10 million buyout, which observers expect both sides to decline. A one-year deal would allow Boston to retain a reliable starter alongside Garrett Crochet, Ranger Suárez, and Brayan Bello, while allowing Gray to pursue a World Series title.
