Opinion Sonny Gray

Anybody else think we ought to get Sonny Gray to change his Sox this off-season? Not only would we get a true ace, we’d get a hardened veteran who could teach the kids so much. Thoughts?

Sure but i don't think Jerry will pay for Sonny Gray tbh.

Gray’s gonna be 37 this offseason.

These are exactly the type of signings in Jerry’s wheelhouse if they open the wallet a bit more. Won’t be more than a 1-and-1 or maybe a guaranteed 2nd year.

The unrealistic signings are anything that requires 6+ years or $150 million (haven’t even gone over $100 million but I’m adding a little).

Gray’s gonna get 1-2 years at like $30 million. Probably one of the more realistic ‘dream’ signings.

Completely agree. Great mutual fit all around as long as Jerry pays market value for him.

If Jerry is willing to pay Id be down for sure. 2/30 million with an opt out after one year? If Gray will take that Id welcome him with open arms.

Yep. Reinsdorf hates paying players in general but has a particular disdain for giving money to pitchers.
