The Yankees and Red Sox have a storied rivalry involving players. Bucky Dent, Aaron Boone, Babe Ruth. These are some of the names that make these games tense. But before the 2017 mid season series, both teams suffered setbacks. Yankees starting pitcher Michael Pineda is most likely out for the season with a partially torn UCL. There have been rumors that the Yankees would deal Pineda at the Trade Deadline, for he is in his last year of his contract. Now, the Yankees are stuck with an injured arm. Pineda is seeking a second opinion, but it looks grim for the tall righty. On the Boston side of the things, the Sox management parted with possibly the worst contract in team history, Pablo Sandoval. The former San Francisco hero signed a five year, $95 million dollar deal with the Red Sox after winning a World Series with the Giants in 2016. Sandoval played just 161 games over his first three years of the contract. The Red Sox owe him more than $50 million dollards over the last two years of his deal.
