Boston Red Sox fans are cautiously happy about the team's new starting pitching additions in Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo. Both guys improve Boston's rotational depth, and Gray, once wielding ace-worthy stuff in his prime, now measures up as a tremendous No. 3 starter at his advancing age (36).
You can talk yourself into Gray as a viable No. 2, but you won't hear many (or any) Red Sox fans having that discussion these days. The general feeling among Sox supporters is that Boston still lacks a dynamic No. 2 starter behind Garrett Crochet, and the corresponding expectation is that chief baseball officer Craig Breslow is on the hunt for one.
