How would Sonny Gray look in pinstripes? Taller? Thinner? Is either even possible?
Monday’s trade deadline is getting closer, and so are the A’s and Yankees in talks on a Gray-to-the-Bronx deal that would move the 5-foot-10 pitcher from last place to the pennant race.
Gray took out the lineup card to umpires before Saturday night’s 5-4 victory over the Twins at the Coliseum — manager Bob Melvin’s 1,000th career victory — and stopped preparing to pitch in Sunday’s series finale because the A’s announced Jharel Cotton would start instead.
This would assure that any team acquiring Gray would get him for an extra start.
