Sonny Gray considers trade options as Red Sox face selloff ahead of deadline
Summary

The Boston Red Sox, currently 31-44 and last in the American League East, are likely to become sellers ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. Veteran pitcher Sonny Gray, who has a 3.12 ERA this season, indicated he would be open to discussions about waiving his no-trade clause again. Meanwhile, after a disappointing start, the Houston Astros are considering options to bolster their outfield, a position marked by underperformance this season. General Manager Dana Brown may revisit previous trade talks with the Red Sox and explore available outfield talent such as Byron Buxton, Seiya Suzuki, and Mickey Moniak as the deadline approaches.
