"He was somebody that we had interest in, but it's early in the offseason and there's interest across a whole span of players,"
"When you think about what Sonny has been in this league, it's a guy who has pitched at the front of rotations, and those things that we think pitchers carry year to year - things like strikeouts rates and walks rates and ability to stay off barrels - he excels there,"
"I don't know how much sense it makes in November to put a number on a guy,"
"I think Sonny is a very talented Major League pitcher. The seasons that he's put up pretty consistently indicate that to be the case."
The Red Sox acquired right-handed starter Sonny Gray in a trade with the Cardinals. Gray is a three-time All-Star who has pitched near the front of rotations and posted back-to-back 200-strikeout seasons. He shows strong strikeout and walk rates and an ability to limit barrels while handling significant workloads. The team will not assign a fixed rotation number in November and declined to label Gray as the No. 2 starter. The organization intends to keep exploring roster-improvement opportunities and remains open to adding additional high-end starting help.
