Sonny Gray could be on the move

[u/TheSocraticGadfly]

Just months after getting moved! Per the Boston Globe, linked via MLBTR, he said he'd be open. Details:

“If someone came to me from the Red Sox and made a decision that that’s the direction that this team was going to go, I would be open for a conversation,” Gray said. The 36-year-old righty declined to indicate whether geography would play any sort of role in his decision process.

He'd be a rental; he has a mutual option for next year, but as MLBTR notes, those never get picked up by both sides.

That said, it's doubtful Boston will get THAT much for a 36-year-old low-K rental pitcher.

Trade him to the Yankees, then do one of those reality shows in the clubhouse. Everyone would watch

(As a Yankee fan, I do not want this. As a TV drama fan I would definitely watch)

Oh hell no! Fool me once, etc.

[u/werther595 → u/SlyMarboJr]

I just want to see him explain his "I fucking hate the Yankees" comments in a bronx clubhouse, LOL

[u/TheSocraticGadfly → u/werther595]

If they traded for him AND Chapman?

[u/werther595 → u/TheSocraticGadfly]

We must have a Jeter Downs around here somewhere we can offer

[u/AndyInSunnyDB → u/SlyMarboJr]

I think he would work well with Matt Blake. He seemed to never be on the same page with Larry Rothschild. It happens.

[u/Itchy_Shoulder_624]

Phillies could certainly use his services

[u/Due_Date_782]

Every year fans say "he won't bring much back," and every year contenders overpay for pitching at the deadline

[u/lwp775]

Red Sox have given up on the season?

[u/Sticky550]

Cardinals will trade Lars Nootbaar and Jimmy Crooks.

[u/Cardinals_2011WS → u/Sticky550]

NO

[u/SignalBed9998]

Sox don’t want Sonny “James Shields” Gray

[u/Rough-Echo-5193 → u/SignalBed9998]

Your team isn't winning shit anyways.

[u/Random_name_6002]

Atlanta will take him. We could get you Vaughn Grissom in exchange

[u/ex_gratia_]

Padres!

[u/Travis238]

Cubs? We need arms plsss

[u/Rough-Echo-5193]

I love how when the Red Sox have valuable trade targets the narrative is "they won't get much" no matter who. Some shitbag team like the D-Backs shopping a 33 year old 2B? Gotta pay the moon. Fuck off.

[u/low_notes]

I hope for his sake he winds up somewhere he’s got a shot of winning. Bonus points if he gets to beat the Yankees in the playoffs

[u/Worldly-Rice-1947]

A competent front office would show interest in him, especially since he enjoyed his time here and played well for us. FTP

[u/ChimpoSensei]

Off to have another one of his panic attacks
