During the New York Yankees' series last week against their rival, the Boston Red Sox, one Boston pitcher had some strong words about the rivalry, which dates back to the early days of the MLB and is one of the most notorious feuds in sports.

Boston Red Sox rookie starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins made it clear that his loyalty to his team runs deep. While speaking to Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald, Dobbins declared that he would never play for the rival New York Yankees after growing up rooting for the Red Sox.

The Boston Red Sox could fix first-inning woes by trading for former New York Yankees and current Athletics pitcher JP Sears.
