Yahoo Sports | Mark Townsend: It used to be that whatever the Yankees wanted, they’d get. Free agents, trade targets, whatever it was, if the Yankees wanted a player he’d eventually be in pinstripes. However, now it seems like that happens more with the Red Sox than the Yankees. So does that make the Red Sox baseball’s new “Evil Empire?” Considering they’re doing everything that people used to hate about the Yankees, it may be the case, but they’re certainly not cool enough to be called the Evil Empire.
WEEI.com | Rob Bradford: Last week Brian Cashman made some headlines after the Chris Sale trade when he referred to the Red Sox as MLB’s Golden State Warriors.
