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?

Should’ve moved Colson for him when he was initially available… would’ve prevented the Castillo trade too.

Ugh, the thought of having a top pitcher while offloading colson makes me sad it didn't happen

Short window. They pulled him off the market when they got hot. They wanted Meidroth back but we said no. Colson was offered bc we likely would’ve utilized Billy Carlson / Acuna but who knows.

In what world was Billy Carlson coming up this year

Acuna this year, Carlson for 2027.

Carlson barely played this year with injuries. I don’t think trading Colson this or next year is smart at all.

Compared to Chase / Vargas he was the best trade bait in my opinion. I would’ve moved him way earlier if not last off season but oh well
