Gray’s return to the roster last week was hailed for the flexibility it gave Bruce Bochy. But there’s one other way he could provide flexibility - by being traded to a team willing to absorb most or all of the approximately $3.9 million left in his contract. Here’s how something like that might look:

Jonah Heim hit a looping fly ball that dropped between two fielders in shallow left field, scoring Wyatt Langford from first base, and the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 2-1 on Wednesday night for a sweep.

Texas Rangers righty Jon Gray was activated from the injured list Wednesday after being out since getting struck by a line drive that fractured his right forearm during a spring training game in mid-March.
