Gray, 36, said he would waive his no-trade clause to leave the Cardinals. He went 14-8 with a 4.28 ERA last season while making every start for the Cardinals. He had one year left on a three-year, $75 million deal that includes a team option for 2027.<\/p>\n

He has pitched in the big leagues for 13 years, making the All-Star team as recently as 2023. He has a career 3.58 ERA in 330 starts.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-4 Clarke, 22, features a fastball that can touch 100 mph and is coupled with a nasty slider. He threw 38 innings in Class A this season, striking out 60 but walking 27 for a 4.03 ERA.<\/p>\n

Fitts, 25, was 2-4 with a 5.00 ERA in 10 starts for the Red Sox this season. He struck out 40 while giving up 11 home runs in 45 innings.<\/p>\n
