NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Sonny Gray era is officially over in New York.
The Yankees traded the disappointing right-hander to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday, in what ultimately became a three-team trade involving the Seattle Mariners.
Rumors of the 29-year-old’s exit from the Bronx started over the weekend, but a trade wasn’t completed until Gray agreed to a contract extension with the Reds. The new agreement reportedly added $30.5 million from 2020-22 onto Gray’s current one-year deal.
New York received infield prospect Shed Long and a high pick in this year’s amateur draft.
