UNDATED (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have acquired right-hander Sonny Gray in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds.
The Reds included minor league right-hander Francis Peguero in the deal for Twins pitching prospect Chase Petty. The 18-year-old Petty was Minnesota’s first-round draft pick last year.
Gray went 7-9 with a 4.19 ERA in 26 starts last season, his third with the Reds.
