We have a show to do today.

The whole new acronym thing drives me effing pen in. Can we call him by his way? Shelgar and Mass. On 985, the Sports Hub. Let's go. All right. It's our number three, Felger and Mass. I come to you remotely today. Sarone is in for Mass in our town fair tire studios alongside Big Jim Murray. A couple of the things we'll mix in with the football conversation one is the breaking red sox news today they have traded for

pitcher sunny gray what are you guys thoughts on this well i think it's i'm going to say it's a great

move his age is the course of concern but it's a 14 win pitcher last year i think he's a decent

player but again you're dealing with the age and it's always funny when it comes to the money and you find out how much the other team is still paying him when it comes with the Red Sox. But I think it's a decent pickup for this team. I don't think it's anything that's going to have anybody running down the street celebrating. But I like the move and I like them trying to do something to improve this pitching staff. And Craig Breslow and the organization said they're going to try to get a number two. If you think this is a number two, I think you're a foolish. Aren't you worried that this is their number two? Yeah. Yes, because he's 36 years old. He's a fragile journeyman. If they made this move five to ten years ago, fine. They've always apparently had some interest in in getting him but he's an old guy on a short-term deal and it's further proof i don't think they'll commit to anything he's just an arm he's maybe a three and potentially a downgrade from what lucas gilito game last year i was trying to look at his numbers i guess he did have a decent year for st louis last year but why did they ultimately do the deal thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me is what I've been talking about in the

headlines.

The Cardinals send them $20 million? I mean, come on. And by the way, Maz, who's, you know, on the fall of Maz, the Thanksgiving of Maz did tweet about it. I want to read it. he writes, just to be clear,

Sunny Gray is a number three starter,

not a number two.

The Red Sox still owe you something better. He writes, just to be clear, Sunny Gray is a number three starter, not a number two.

The Red Sox still owe you something better.

Murray, Stu, tell Felger you can read this on the air.

Okay, so, but isn't this the worry?

Yeah, you know, Breslo says we are in the market for a middle-the-order bat and a number two starter.

Well, I mean, a legit number two starter or a guy that you're just going to pitch number

two.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, this is your job by default.

And when it's in number two starter, you think Joe Ryan or you think, you know, at the worst,

Freddie Peralta or someone like that, don't you worry that this is their move?

And it's just, it's just Lucas Gialito over again.

It's a 36-year-old guy on a discounted deal.
