NEW YORK -- The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, a historic feud running on fumes in recent years, received a light jolt from a rookie this weekend -- and Aaron Judge took notice.
Boston right-hander Hunter Dobbins, a lifelong Red Sox fan from Texas and the team's starting pitcher Sunday, told the Boston Herald on Saturday that he'd rather retire if the Yankees were the last team to give him a contract.
Judge said he was unaware of the comment until ESPN's Eduardo Pérez relayed it to him before Sunday's series finale.
