After the Yankees’ 4-0 win on Thursday, Hall of Famer CC Sabathia resurfaced an old troll that fans abused Martinez with. And it all unfolded for everyone to see on social media. Earlier this week, after the Red Sox won Game 1 of the best-of-3 series, Martinez took to X/Twitter to cheer on his team.

This is the Yankees vs. the Red Sox, in the playoffs,. Knockout baseball again between them, for the first time since the wild card game four years ago when the Red Sox chased Gerrit Cole at Fenway Park and really finished a Yankee season before everybody got to the third inning that night.

New York and Boston have split 24 postseason games. The Yankees won the 1999 and 2003 AL Championship Series (the latter on Boone's 11th-inning walk-off homer against Tim Wakefield), and the Red Sox won the 2004 ALCS, 2018 Division Series and 2021 wild-card game.

Red Sox rivalry heats up in the AL Wild Card Series, but Boston and New York's housing markets show an even tougher contest.

Alejandro Kirk homered twice as the Toronto Blue Jays routed the New York Yankees 10-1 on Saturday in game one of their Major League Baseball playoff series.That pulled them within 2-1, but the Blue Jays put up four runs in the seventh and Kirk added his second home run in a four-run eighth as the Blue Jays turned it into a blowout for their first playoff win since 2016.

David Ortiz certainly has a bias toward the Boston Red Sox, but that doesn't preclude him from acknowledging a great pitching performance even if it comes from a member of the New York Yankees.

The Boston Red Sox could have had two franchise superstars last century, but passed on the chance to sign them.

By the seventh inning, concern had spread across Yankee Stadium like a ripple in water. Bellinger grounded out and moved slowly down the line, clearly favoring his leg. Cameras, after that inning, then caught him pacing the infield before retreating to left field, almost as if he was testing whether he could handle the discomfort.
