It was a heavily backloaded contract, paying the right-hander $35MM in 2026 plus
a $5MM buyout on a $30MM club option for the 2027 season. The contract stipulat
ed that even if the option was picked up, Gray could opt out and head back into
free agency.

That deal has been slightly restructured. The new arrangement pays Gray $31MM in
2026 and includes a $10MM buyout on a $30MM mutual option for 2027. The amended
deal reinforces the fact that Gray is a one-year rental — it’s been more than
a decade since a mutual option was exercised by both parties in MLB — but it a
lso comes with some perks for him.

2026 $31M
2027 $30M（双方选择 & 10M买断）
Gray is now guaranteed an extra million dollars — likely a kicker for him to wa
ive his no-trade protection — and he’ll now receive the full buyout on his 202
7 option. Under the previous contract, if the Red Sox had picked up Gray’s opti
on, he’d have forfeited the $5MM buyout by opting back into free agency. Now, h
e’ll receive a fully guaranteed $41MM for one year.

等于是一张一年4100万镁的合约、毕竟选择权不太可能捡
Because the Cardinals are kicking in $20MM, only $21MM of Gray’s $41MM guarante
e will count against the Red Sox’ luxury tax total.

所以等于红袜在薪资计算只占21M
