The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will meet in the postseason for the seventh time in franchise history, renewing one of baseball's longest-standing rivalries in a best-of-three wild-card series, according to ESPN.
Both clubs spoke of the matchup with an emphasis on mutual respect ahead of the series, ESPN reported, rather than the more heated rhetoric that has sometimes characterized past meetings between the two teams.
A storied rivalry renewed
The Yankees and Red Sox have a postseason history stretching back decades, and this latest meeting adds another chapter to that history. ESPN's report did not detail the scheduling, dates, or venues for the series, nor did it name the players or coaches who commented on the rivalry.
The wild-card round is a short, high-stakes format, with the winner advancing further into the American League playoffs. Further details on the series' logistics and broader playoff picture were not included in the available report.
