When the Boston Red Sox traded for Sonny Gray last week, New York Yankees fans hardly blinked. If this was the No. 2 starter Craig Breslow promised, it would objectively end up being hilarious fodder for Red Sox fans to lose their minds. If he was a luxury depth acquisition, then we'd call it a solid deal, but again, Gray at 36 is nothing to fear.
Yankees fans know this firsthand, as Brian Cashman traded for the right-hander back in 2017. Remember that? You sure do! Gray was an awful Yankee who eventually got relegated to the bullpen.
