If you’re wondering about why I am adding Yankees news into the normal Red Sox news & notes, it’s because the two teams are playing each other for the next 3 days. Right now the Red Sox hold an 8 game lead as they look to distance themselves from the Yanks. The Yanks come into the series fresh off a 16-0 mauling by the Tigers while the Red Sox come well-rested after a day off. Moving forward, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston area and New York media on this cool morning along the shores of Long Island Sound.
