As I have always said, FAKE ACE

Fools gold Sonny Gray is, so many bought the bait

[ramfandan]

Oli was probably told if Sonny struggles leave him in there, so he is so embarrassed that he will be willing to waive his NTC

Cards would eat a lot of the $$$. to move him .
Won’t get much in return but someone would want him as backend starter for a decent price .

[sdaltons]

Definitely not the first time we've needed him to step up and he's let us down

[Chitownredbird]

Exactly. He’s maybe 3 in a WS contender post season rotation. But he’s probably the best trade chip we’ve got if not for the NT clause.

You Are Correct Sir

Gray is another example of why we need a salary cap in baseball. No reason for this F to be making more than 10M a year.

Salary cap or not……teams will always make some poor personnel decisions…

I had a feeling he might get bombed in that pinball Palace down there.

And he didn’t just let us down, he got absolutely torched

Lol guy has a 1.8 war 9-3 with a whip a little over one and gets shelled and now he sucks. Fans are delusional lunatics

I think it was the Cardinals who bought the bait, right? Assuming people who believed Sonny was a true ace are the fish in your metaphor.
