The Red Sox’s Sonny Gray says he is frustrated by the team’s decision to pull him early during Game 2 of the Wild Card series against the Yankees. After the move, Gray indicates he wanted to stay in the game longer and believes the change did not reflect his readiness to finish the outing.
Across outlets, the focus is on Gray’s dissatisfaction with Red Sox pitching moves led by manager Chad Tracy. Yahoo Sports reports Gray specifically mentions a lack of trust in the moment he was removed, framing it as a managerial decision that backfired during a Yankees win. The New York Post similarly highlights that Gray felt he deserved more opportunity, quoting him saying he would have liked to be trusted.
In context, the comments come as the Red Sox’s season ends with a Yankees sweep in the series. While all sources center on Gray’s reaction to being taken out early, they differ slightly in emphasis—some stress the “frustrated” tone and lack of trust, while others focus on Gray wanting more innings in a tight situation.
