Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins made news earlier this month when he said he hated the Yankees so much that he would retire if his only other choice was to play for them. At this point the Yankees would welcome that. They’ve seen enough of the 25-year-old righthander.

Hunter Dobbins was an eighth-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in 2021, and before the 2025 season, he was ranked as the 27th overall prospect in their system. Clearly, the Boston organization did not have high expectations for the righty from Texas Tech.

The origin of Hunter Dobbins' hatred for the New York Yankees came into question this week, but that didn't stop the Boston Red Sox pitcher from dealing 6.0 scoreless innings against them on Saturday.
