Flashback to 2017 when the New York Yankees traded with the Oakland A’s for starting pitcher, Sonny Gray.
Gray had started off his career with Oakland on a dominant note, with 2016 being an exception when he posted a 5.69 ERA. That was following an All-Star selection and ranking third in Cy Young voting with a 2.73 ERA and two shut outs in 2015.
However, when he joined the Yankees, they anticipated Gray bringing his A-game, but that reality did not occur. His first full season with New York ended up being a 4.90 ERA campaign, where he allowed 14 homers and struck out 123 batters over 30 games.
