Following the trade, Gray took shots at the Bronx Bombers, where he spent the 2017-18 season, summing up his stint with the team.

"It feels good to me to go to a place where it’s easy to hate the Yankees,” Gray said on joining the Red Sox. “I never wanted to go there in the first place."

Gray's comments are a stark contrast to what he said when he joined the Yankees from the Athletics in 2017.

"Expectations are always high at a place like this and I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Gray had said after joining the Yankees. “I’m ready. I couldn’t be happier with how it all played out.”

MLB fans called out the All-Star pitcher for changing his tune on the Bronx Bombers.

"This is what we call clown behaviour bro," a fan wrote.
"He loves to continue to talk about the Yankees tho," wrote another fan.
"Sonny Gray is basically an above average AAA pitcher who ended up playing in NY and couldn't handle the pressure of playing on the biggest stage in sports," lashed out a fan.

"Not everyone can play under the BIG lights," claimed a fan.
"You couldn't cut it in NY Sonny," wrote a fan.

The three-time All-Star pitcher registered a 4.51 ERA in 34 starts for the Yankees. He was demoted to the bullpen before being traded to the Cincinnati Reds in January 2019.
