It sounds as though trade talks have been steadily progressing, with the Reds clearly in the lead. They’re hoping that they can help Gray rediscover the form that made him such a highly-coveted pitcher when he was with the Oakland Athletics a few seasons ago. It seems increasingly likely that the two sides will get this over the line.
