Isiah Kiner-Falefa rips former Yankees team; Boone surprised

Former Yankee and current Red Sox player Isiah Kiner-Falefa disparaged his old team, claiming the Blue Jays preferred playing the Yankees over the Red Sox in the 2025 ALDS. Yankees manager Aaron Boone responded, calling the comments "a little surprising" but dismissed them. Kiner-Falefa, who played for the Yankees (2022-23) and Blue Jays (2025) before joining Boston, made the revelation on his first day as a Red Sox player. He also addressed fan backlash over his forceout in Game 7 of the World Series.
