The New York Yankees won't be able to avoid the Boston Red Sox in the 2025 MLB playoff bracket for very long. In fact, their clash will be instantaneous; New York and Boston will face off in the third game of the postseason's first day, following only Detroit-Cleveland and Chicago-San Diego in the Wild Card madness.
Despite the inherent agita, are two very good things about this reality: the Yankees won't have to go to Fenway Park again in 2025, and either the Sox or Blue Jays are guaranteed to be out before the ALCS.
