After taking two of three from the Yankees in the Bronx last weekend, the Boston Red Sox will look to win another series against their biggest rival at Fenway Park this weekend.

Pedro Martinez ’s time with the Red Sox came at the peak of Boston’s rivalry with the Yankees. So when the former pitcher-turned-analyst compliments New York, fans take notice. Martinez had some positive comments as the Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals, 10-2, on Tuesday.

Dobbins mentioned that his father, Lance Dobbins, was "really good friends" with Yankees great Andy Pettitte and had a short career with the team before becoming a die-hard Sox fan: “He was actually drafted twice by the Yankees,” his son said. “Signed with them his last year, and then he got traded over to the Diamondbacks.”

"I’ve said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I’d retire.” The post Hunter Dobbins takes Red Sox-Yankees rivalry to next level, vows he’d retire over pitching for New York appeared first on Boston.

The retooled Red Sox will enter 9.5 games behind the Yankees, and they will be without injured free-agent signing Alex Bregman (quad) this weekend.

Boston Red Sox rookie starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins absolutely hates the New York Yankees. But the reason why appears to be down to a complete figment
