Gray, who has a no-trade clause in his contract, is signed for two more seasons with the Cardinals holding a $30 million club option for the 2027 campaign. And some teams reportedly are hoping to convince the 34-year-old to reconsider his hard stance on being traded.

MLB.com is keeping track of all the latest free-agent and trade rumors involving the Red Sox right here.

Former Auburn pitcher Bailey Horn joined the St. Louis Cardinals as waiver claim on Thursday, the National League team announced, and was added to its 40-man roster. Horn pitched in 18 games for the Boston Red Sox in 2024, but the Cardinals got the left-hander from the Detroit Tigers, who had obtained him on Nov. 22.

Joe Kelly’s 2024 season was cut short by shoulder injuries, leaving his future with the Los Angeles Dodgers uncertain.

The Cardinals are looking to trade Nolan Arenado, and his friend, Lars Nootbaar says the third baseman "looks really good right now."

Improving their offense from the right side of the plate remains a "top priority" for the Boston Red Sox, according to MassLive.com's Chris Cotillo.

Cease had a strong first season with the Friars, accumulating a WAR of 4.8 and throwing a no hitter. He was worth the high price the Padres paid for him and will hopefully stay in brown and gold for a long time. He's enjoyed his time so far with the team and could easily help them get back to the postseason.

Today, it was announced that the honors will go to fan-favorite retired United States Navy Petty Officer First Class Generald Wilson.

Tanner Scott won't be coming to Boston after signing a four-year, $72 million deal with the Dodgers. So where can the Red Sox turn for relief help before spring training?

John Mozeliak says trading Nolan Arenado remains “Priority 1, 2 and 3” but acknowledges the team remains in a holding pattern due to the FA market. He would like to add to the bullpen/maybe a RH-bat, but won’t before they have clarity on Arenado’s future.

This is how it feels, anyway, and it isn't just because the Dodgers were revealed as the winners of the Rōki Sasaki sweepstakes on Friday. It is a big deal that one of the most talented pitchers on Earth is destined for Dodger Blue, but there's more going on here.
