\n One team\u2019s trash became another team\u2019s treasure.<\/p>\n

The Reds named Ex-Yankee Sonny Gray their opening day starter Wednesday. It\u2019s a far-cry from his performance in the Bronx just two years ago.<\/p>\n

The Yankees acquired Gray during the 2017 season, helping to add rotational depth for the second half of the season. The 30-year-old suffered a disastrous 2018 season, however, posting a 4.90 ERA in 23 starts and 30 total app<\/a>earances. By the end of the season, Gray had pitched himself out of the rotation, and did not even make the team\u2019s postseason roster.<\/p>\n

Following the 2018 season, the Yankees shipped Gray to the Reds, receiving minor leaguer Josh Stowers in return in a three-team trade. At the time, Yankees general<\/a> manager Brian Cashman said Gray would find more success elsewhere. He was right.<\/p>\n

In his first season in Cincinnati, Gray posted an 11-8 record with a 2.87 ERA. He was named a National League All-Star, his first appearance in the midseason classic since his 2015 season with the A\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no denying the fact that Sonny has stepped up,\u201d manager David Bell told reporters Wednesday. \u201cHe\u2019s a leader. He sets a great example. He also had a great season last year. We couldn\u2019t have asked for a better option to set the tone for the season for our rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as if the Reds are starved for pitchers, either. Gray got the opening day nod over Luis Castillo, who was also named an All-Star last year with a 15-8 record and 3.40 ERA. The team also acquired the outspoken Trevor Bauer last season, but he struggled upon arrival, recording a 6.39 ERA in 10 starts with the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis reaction was almost like he was expecting it,\u201d Bell said. \u201cHe has so much respect for his fellow starters that he didn\u2019t make a big deal out of it with me, but I could tell by his reaction that it meant a lot to him. He\u2019s just so focused. He kind of took it in stride.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
