The Yankees and Oakland A’s both lost the Sonny Gray trade.
Remember how excited you were when the Yankees completed their 2017 trade for Sonny Gray? Ahh, if only you could distill that feeling and keep it in a lil’ bottle.
While Gray’s ’17 was definitely better than you remember (because you remember it being a Carl-Pavano-Getting-Hit-By-A-Cab-esque disaster), his 2018 season was among the worst a Yankee starter has posted in modern history. 11-9, 4.90 ERA, and a very indicative home start where he was rapped around by the lowly Orioles and exited with a smile of relief.
