The first Yankees’ dynasty, which began with the 1923 championship, was helped out quite a bit by the Red Sox and various bad trades they made with the Yankees. Babe Ruth is obviously the most famous of those, but the Yankees picked up several key players from them, including pitchers Waite Hoyt, Herb Pennock, Carl […]
The Boston Red Sox are real buyers. No, like legitimately.

The 36-year-old has had a dreadful season, batting just .229 with a .708 OPS and just 11 homers. Not quite the way he wants to go into free agency.
