Sources: Nats, Yanks among those in on Gray
Sonny Gray strikes out six batters over 6 1/3 innings of two-run ball against the Rays to earn his sixth win of the seasonWhen Sonny Gray pitches tonight in Toronto -- if he's not traded before then -- the Nationals and Yankees will be paying close attention.
Sources say the A's and Nats have remained in contact since finalizing the deal that sent relievers Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson to Washington earlier this month.
The A's are prioritizing young center fielders as potential returns on Gray. They have interest in Estevan Florial, the Yankees' No. 5 prospect and No. 91 overall as ranked by MLBPipeline.com.
As for talks between the A's and Nats, we shouldn't be surprised.
