    Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Cardinals are nearing the finalization of a deal to bring free agent starting pitcher Sonny Gray to St Louis.

    The Cardinals finished in fifth place last season in large part because their rotation (and pitching staff in general) imploded. They have pursued starters aggressively early in the offseason, picking up Kyle Gibson before Thanksgiving and now it appears they're going to add Gray to the mix.

    Gray, 34 years old, had what is probably the best season of his career in 2023, finishing second in the Cy Young Award while pitching for the Twins.

    UPDATE: Sonny Gray has agreed to a three year, $75 million deal with St Louis.

    Gosh, the Cards are betting heavily on having four twos, rather than a three and three fours, with all this. I can't believe they didn't go bigger--Snell or Yamamoto would have been the guys, for me. And Gray is so reliant on called strikes! And [gestures at Willson's framing numbers]!

    Huh?  This looks like a 2 and four 5s to me, maybe three 5s and a 6.
