New Red Sox pitcher Sonny Gray didn’t mince words last week when asked about joining Boston after previously spending parts of two seasons playing for the Yankees.
“I’ll tell you what did factor into my decision to come to Boston,” Gray said in his first meeting with the Boston media. “It feels good to me to go to a place now where, you know what, it’s easy to hate the Yankees. … “New York just wasn’t a good situation for me. It wasn’t a great setup for me and my family. I never wanted to go there in the first place.
