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?

He's going to be 37 in a few weeks, plus he'll be really expensive.

I'd be surprised if he gives a team 150 innings next year.

Sounds like a future White Sock to me

I’m all for bringing in veteran arms to shore up our staff, but we’d be playing with fire bringing in a 37 year old

He must know he’s headed for his last stop. He got dissed by the Red Sox in his last appearance and was under-appreciated all year. Even if he fades fast, having him in as a specialist and mentor would be worth it, I think. But hell, he was an All Star (another snub) at age 36. I’ll bet he can motor it up at least one more time!

For $30 million?
