The Future of the St. Louis Cardinals’ Ace: Will Sonny Gray Stay or Go?

The St. Louis Cardinals have a true ace in their midst, but the question remains: will he still be wearing the red and white after the 2025 Major League Baseball trade deadline on July 31st? Sonny Gray, the Cardinals’ star pitcher, has been the subject of trade rumors, but with a no-trade clause in his contract and a strong desire to stay put, it seems unlikely that he will be leaving anytime soon.

According to MLB.com’s John Denton, Gray has expressed a willingness to waive his no-trade clause for only two teams: the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds. However, it is highly unlikely that either of these teams will make a move for him.

Despite the potential for a blockbuster trade, Gray has made it clear that he is committed to the Cardinals and has no intention of leaving. With a stellar record and a strong presence on the mound, it’s no wonder that the team is eager to hold onto their ace.

But with the trade deadline looming, anything can happen. Will the Cardinals be able to keep their star pitcher, or will they be forced to say goodbye? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: all eyes will be on Sonny Gray as the deadline approaches.
