He’s coming up on 36…..easy to understand he might want an opportunity to win…

Although that 35 mil he is owed next year will scare a lot of teams off…

Get ur' done Mo.

Interesting that he doesn’t think he’s currently on a contender…..or the club can be formed into a contender
There’s Always Next Year…..

Bet if the Reds wanted him ( was with them previously ) he would waive to them as he previously has said the reason he signed with Cardinals was that St. Louis wasn't too far from his Nashville area home. Cincy would be even closer .

Can they afford him?

It makes sense to waive it at the deadline instead of in the offseason. In the offseason you may get traded to a team that seems like a contender in the offseason but turns out to be a non contender while at the deadline it will almost certainly be to a contender

Wonder if Atlanta would have interest? Or if he would agree to join NYY, Boston, TOR, LA, or SD? Would Mo dare trade him to the Cubs or Brewers?

The context of the OP doesn't say when Sonny said this. He might have said it before the season began. So, he might believe in this team...

I saw that. Kratz wasn't quoting Sonny Gray, he was speculating.

If Sonny will waive his ntc he's gone imo. That doesn’t mean I believe that report.

There is zero truth to the story.
Gray has been very clear he has zero interest in playing far from home.
The currently contending teams who could afford him happen to be in the very locations in which he has no interest.
He goes nowhere at the deadline.

Cincinnati is indeed closer to Nashville, by a whole 15 miles.

Though I honestly trust the Cardinals to be more of a contender and spend money than I do Cincinnati.

What part of contender led you to the Braves?
