A few writers at Yanks Go Yard have been stumping pretty hard for the New York’s front office to pursue a trade for Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sonny Gray this winter. In a recent column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe suggested there might be an opportunity for a blockbuster involving Gray and left-handed reliever Sean Doolittle, and named the Yankees as a fit for that kind of deal.
General manager Brian Cashman has stated many times this offseason that he’s looking to upgrade all areas of his pitching staff this offseason, and a move like this would allow him to kill two birds with one stone.
