Red Sox veterans Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras speak out about team's decision-making after elimination by Yankees

Following a postseason sweep by the New York Yankees that ended with an aggregate score of 18-2, Boston Red Sox players expressed frustration regarding front office choices. Pitcher Sonny Gray and infielder Willson Contreras criticized the team direction, particularly pointing to Game 2 decisions.

Manager Chad Tracy pulled Gray during the fifth inning after 70 pitches, replacing him with Erik Miller as Cody Bellinger stepped up to bat. Gray, who had allowed only a solo home run to Luis Garcia Jr.

up to that point, argued that he should have been left on the mound to finish the frame. Later in the contest, Tracy brought in Garrett Crochet for his first appearance since April following a shoulder and lat injury, but the pitcher failed to record an out before Garrett Whitlock entered the game.
