Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke out on MLB’s decision to not discipline Red Sox manager Alex Cora.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0and\u00a0Boston Red Sox\u00a0were embroiled in some controversy this weekend. On Saturday, the\u00a0Red Sox appeared to throw at Yankees slugger Aaron Judge\u00a0in retaliation for Yankees starter\u00a0Gerrit Cole hitting and intentionally walking Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers\u00a0in consecutive at bats.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the game, Cora made some comments that appeared to insinuate that the Red Sox were trying to intentionally hit Judge, saying \u201cIt was closed yesterday around the sixth inning. We had our chance. It didn’t happen.\u201d\u00a0Major League Baseball then promptly launched an investigation on Cora\u00a0and the Red Sox to determine whether or not they intentionally hit Judge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MLB decided not to discipline Cora. Ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners, Yankees manager\u00a0Aaron Boone\u00a0spoke about\u00a0that decision, and threw some shade at his arch-rivals per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like we’re past this weekend,\u201d Boone said. \u201cChances are, we’re not going to play them anymore this year. We’ve got too much important things going on in front of us to really get caught up in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boone is absolutely right. After the Red Sox lost three of four against the Yankees, and took another loss again on Tuesday, they are now five games back of the Minnesota Twins for the third and final American League Wild Card spot. Instead of continuing to stoke the fire between the two teams, Boone is deciding to take the high road and focus on his own team’s success and postseason aspirations.<\/p>\n

While Yankees fans are probably not thrilled about Cora avoiding any sort of suspension or fine for his comments, it makes sense. There was an obvious back and forth during Saturday’s game. An argument could be made that Cole should also have faced some sort of punishment for appearing to intentionally hit Devers.<\/p>\n

Yes, Cora should have probably been more calculated in the way he addressed the incident. However, MLB made the right call in staying out of this and letting this story die down. The Red Sox and the Yankees have one of the biggest rivalries in baseball. If they decided to lay down suspensions or fines, then there is a real chance that this storyline could have continued to build up going into next season and more players could potentially be put in danger.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
