Overview
- Hunter Dobbins ignited the rivalry by telling the Boston Herald he’d retire if the Yankees were the last team to offer him a contract
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. fired back on X with a call for more on-field trash talk and the promise of “free smoke at 7”
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he isn’t craving more trash talk in baseball but doesn’t mind players showing some edge
- Returning from a month-long injury, Chisholm went 8-for-16 with two homers and six RBIs, including a three-run homer and RBI single in Friday’s game
- Boston’s offense totaled 27 runs across the three-game set, including 11 in the finale, and Dobbins’s five-solid-inning start sealed the series victory
