Gray’s salary is backloaded enough ($25 mm in 2025 and $35 mm in 2026, IIRC), that I don’t know if he has much surplus value to bring back much in the way of prospects. However, with SP at a premium, maybe some team will be willing to trade talent as well as taking on that contract. Only takes one.
I think even with the backloading he'll have appeal given his excellent strikeout numbers and relative health over the last two seasons. We'll presumably find out soon.
