Yankees Acquire Sonny Gray From A's

Aug 4, 2017 1:47 AM

The Yankees' pursuit of Athletics starter Sonny Gray spilled into the final hours before the trade deadline, but a swap has been agreed to that will send the right-hander to New York, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The Athletics are getting back shortstop Jorge Mateo, outfielder Dustin Fowler and pitcher James Kaprielian, according to multiple reports. Oakland is taking on two injured players, as Fowler ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee during his first game in the majors last season while Kaprielian underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this year.

Gray is under club control through the 2019 season. He is making $3.6 million this season and is arbitration eligible in 2018.

Yankees, A's Appear Closer To Making Trade For Sonny Gray

Jul 31, 2017 3:25 PM

The Yankees' pursuit of Athletics starter Sonny Gray spilled into the waning hours, as officials for both teams tried to decide if they're ready to make the compromises needed to bring a trade to fruition before Monday's 4 p.m. deadline.

The teams are "close enough to get over the hump," a source said. But Oakland executive VP Billy Beane has given indications he's prepared to hang onto Gray, who isn't eligible for free agency until 2019. Yankees GM Brian Cashman has thus far been resistant to giving up the prospect package the A's are seeking for Gray.

Red Sox Send Three Prospects To Mets For Addison Reed

Jul 31, 2017 6:44 PM

On Sunday, the Red Sox watched their bullpen cough up a two-run lead in the eighth inning of a oss to the Royals.

On Monday, they did something about it.

The Red Sox beat the trade deadline by acquiring reliever Addison Reed from the Mets for three minor league pitchers, sources confirmed to ESPN. Reed, a 28-year-old right-hander, is expected to serve as the primary eighth-inning reliever and setup man for All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel.

The trade has not been announced because the teams are exchanging medical information.
