BOSTON — Watch the video above in which Yankees manager Aaron Boone breaks down what makes the Boston Red Sox so dangerous in a press conference at Fenway Park on Friday, Sept. 28, 2018. 9/28/18

If the Yankees beat the A’s in the American League Wild Card Game, they will head to Boston to take on the Red Sox in the AL Division Series.

Why Yankees might not pay Sabathia $500K

Here’s Boone’s full quote on why the Red Sox are so tough:

Bonafide MVP candidates in (Mookie) Betts and JD (Martinez) that have done their share of damage against us this year. They’re a tough group. In the games we’ve played against them this year, some of the series we’ve had, where it’s been kind of back and forth, they just do a really good job of just playing, playing through anything. They have an ability to bounce back, I feel like. They seem like a tough group overall there. But obviously, if you roll off as many wins as they have, you’re doing a lot of things well.

And here’s a word from the Yankees about LGBTQ scholarships they’re funding.

The New York Yankees today announced the creation of the Yankees-Stonewall Scholars Initiative to commemorate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Inn uprising and celebrate the achievements of New York City Public School graduating seniors who have demonstrated academic achievement, a commitment to equality and impactful support for the LGBTQ community.

The Yankees-Stonewall initiative will provide $50,000 worth of scholarships through five $10,000 college scholarships to be presented to one student from each of the five boroughs of New York City. The scholarships are intended to allow these students the resources to fulfill their educational and career goals. The selection process will be conducted by the New York City Department of Education with public high schools being able to nominate one graduating senior from each school for selection. Further details regarding the nomination process will be announced by the N.Y.C. Department of Education at a later date.
