The Cincinnati Reds finalized a trade on Saturday that was months in the making, acquiring right-handed pitcher Sonny Gray from the New York Yankees in exchange for second base prospect Shed Long and a draft pick.
Fancred’s Jon Heyman was on top of the trade for most of the weekend, but ESPN’s Jeff Passan was the first to announce the deal was done.
