FORT MYERS, Fla. — Dave Dombrowski is not falling for Brian Cashman’s hype, comparing his talented Red Sox to the Warriors.
“I heard that and it was interesting,’’ Dombrowski told The Post on Tuesday as Red Sox pitchers and catchers officially worked out for the first time this spring at Fenway South. “But you know what? [The Yankees are] probably like the Cavaliers and I remember the Cavaliers beat Golden State last year. I would think they should be probably be thinking of themselves along those lines. I would think that’s what they’re like.’’
Certainly, even though the Yankees are in a bit of a rebuilding mode and finished fourth while the Red Sox finished first in the AL East in 2016 with 93 wins, Dombrowski, the Red Sox president of baseball operations, sees the Yankees as a formidable rival.
