Garrett Crochet Sends Message To Sonny Gray With Retirement In Play

   ​Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett CrochetThe Boston Red Sox were swept by the New York Yankees in the American League Wild Card Series, and Sonny Gray now faces a decision on his future.Earlier this year, the 36-year-old pitcher noted that he is open to retiring if his family wants him to hang it up. He had a great year and revealed after the game that he thinks he has a lot of baseball left in him. However, he needs to decide if playing is what’s best for him and his family.”I was telling him that a second ago, whatever him and his family decide, it was a joy to watch this year,” ace Garrett Crochet said after the loss to the Yankees, per MassLive’s Chris Cotillo. “I still think he’s got a lot to give the game, but there’s something to be said about going out on your own terms, I suppose. Whatever he ultimately decides, that’ll be something that as a team, we support him on. But it was a pleasure having him here in Boston.”Even if Gray continues to play, his postgame comments open the door for him to leave the Red Sox. He has a $30 million mutual option, which will likely be declined by the Red Sox. He could re-sign as a free agent, but when he was asked if Boston was a destination he would consider after the year he had, he said “I don’t know.”Looking for the perfect gift for a baseball player in your life?
