"Galle, who celebrated his 22nd birthday yesterday, joins the Cardinals organization after spending less than a year in the Red Sox organization. A 17th-round pick by the club during last year's draft, Galle pitched just 11 innings in relief during his two years with the University of Mississippi during college."
"With that being said, the righty hasn't spent much time in professional ball at this point, and it's possible that getting into a new organization that has pivoted to have such a strong focus on player development could be just what Galle needs to take a big step forward."
"Gray's numbers with Boston don't exactly jump off the page through two starts, with a 4.50 ERA and 19% strikeout rate in ten unremarkable innings. The veteran's track record as a consistent and durable above-average arm suggests that he'll be a productive asset for the Red Sox this year, however, as long as he remains in good health."
Patrick Galle has been traded to the Cardinals to complete the deal for veteran pitcher Gray. Galle, a 17th-round pick, has struggled with a 4.91 ERA in his brief career. He joins right-handers Richard Fitts and Brandon Clarke in the trade return. The Red Sox aimed to strengthen their rotation after losing Giolito and facing inconsistency. Gray's early performance with Boston has been average, but his experience suggests he can be a valuable asset if healthy.
