Major League Baseball began investigating the Red Sox after manager Alex Cora made inflammatory comments about the Yankees, and they've reached a verdict.
Sure, it's been nearly 20 years since the 2004 ALCS, but David Ortiz was still able to inflict a bit more pain on Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Yankees' fans.
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are both bad this season. How bad, you may ask? Well, a 30-year old streak could end if these results continue.
Each year, as the Major League Baseball trade deadline comes and goes, many fans are left disappointed, as they watch their favorite player or players shipped to a new city. These days, most of those deals are done to save a little money or to buy into the team's future with prospects.
Finally! The Major League Baseball owners realized that their product was grinding to a dull-stop. Teams were losing their younger fanbases exponentially, year-by-year. In spring training, this year's rule changes have definitively increased the pace of play. Does everyone like them? No, but I like most of them and you probably will too!
Boston Red Sox fans are livid with the treatment of their favorite team's roster, and specifically its star players, and are searching for answers this winter.
