The Atlanta Braves are predicted to target Sonny Gray in free agency after he completed a $75 million contract with the Boston Red Sox. Gray led MLB with 18 wins in the recent season and is noted for his durability, having pitched at least 160 innings in each of the last four seasons. The Braves previously sought a frontline starter at the trade deadline but acquired only Tyler Mahle to support their rotation. With Chris Sale as the ace and goals for improved pitching depth, the Braves aim to strengthen their staff for the upcoming season.
