FORT MYERS, Fla. — “Sure, yeah,” David Price smilingly told a group of reporters Wednesday morning at JetBlue Park. “You guys want it, let’s do it: We hate the Yankees. We hate the Yankees. Hate ’em.”
On a Sarcasm Scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being Tim Tebow and 10 being Chandler from “Friends,” the Red Sox southpaw’s comments scored an 11.
Rest assured, when the Yankees and Red Sox actually face off in the regular season, with J.D. Martinez getting his physical here Wednesday to complete his five-year, $110 million deal to match the Yankees’ trade for Giancarlo Stanton, everyone will feel the renewed heat of the rivalry.
