Jeff Gray

Jeffrey Michael Gray was born on November 19, 1981 in Texas City, Texas.

The Oakland Athletics selected him in round 32 of the 2004 MLB Draft. He made his Major League debut in 2009, making 29 relief appearances over parts of two seasons for Oakland. Gray pitched for the Chicago Cubs in 2011. He split 2012 with the Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners. Seattle designated Gray for assignment after the 2012 campaign ended. The Minnesota Twins claimed him off of waivers.

Gray made their Opening Day roster in 2013. His season got off to a strong start, going 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA in ten April appearances. His month of May was fairly strong too, but his statistics were inflated due to a five run disaster against the Milwaukee Brewers on May 20th. Without that outing, Gray had a 2.08 ERA over 21 appearances. With it, his ERA ballooned to 4.15 through 22 outings.

He entered the All-Star break sporting a 3.93 ERA and an impressive 5-0 record out of the bullpen. The second half wasn't as kind to Gray, who finished the year with a 5.71 ERA across a career high 49 relief appearances.

Gray spent 2013 in the White Sox minor league system, and then he retired.
