Three days after his Yankees were eliminated by the rival Red Sox in the Division Series, General Manager Brian Cashman made a pronouncement during his season-ending press conference. When asked about once-coveted starting pitcher Sonny Gray, Cashman confessed that the right-hander hadn’t worked out, and that he would seek to trade him during the offseason. On Friday, with CC Sabathia having suffered a recent health scare, Cashman appeared to backpedal.
”Our intention is to move Sonny Gray and relocate him when we get the proper return, in our estimation,” Cashman said on January 4th.
