The fifth inning of that contest will live in infamy, and the stench of what transpired may last until the Yankees win another World Series title.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no manual for how anyone is supposed to behave after winning a championship, but some of the Los Angeles Dodgers took their gloating too far, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Tuesday during his first news conference of spring training.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 580px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-32906-1\" width=\"580\" height=\"720\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SaveVid.Net_AQPh2fM97wljYwD3_P5zc1SOeNIMz26Lt5GOxFdN4w-IofaUb6pf5KE4A_TJfEKxkxSC7pZH6eS40Pkx3cR7hCOemvr6m-TADV-FLSo-1.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SaveVid.Net_AQPh2fM97wljYwD3_P5zc1SOeNIMz26Lt5GOxFdN4w-IofaUb6pf5KE4A_TJfEKxkxSC7pZH6eS40Pkx3cR7hCOemvr6m-TADV-FLSo-1.mp4\">https:\/\/new365.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SaveVid.Net_AQPh2fM97wljYwD3_P5zc1SOeNIMz26Lt5GOxFdN4w-IofaUb6pf5KE4A_TJfEKxkxSC7pZH6eS40Pkx3cR7hCOemvr6m-TADV-FLSo-1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly said on the\u00a0Baseball Isn\u2019t Boring\u00a0show that the matchup between the two teams was a \u201cmismatch from the get-go,\u201d and the Yankees would be ranked eighth or ninth out of all the postseason teams; infielder Miguel Rojas said the Yankees had a \u201clazy defense\u201d and he thought they were poor fundamentally; and utilityman Chris Taylor notoriously said the Yankees \u201cs\u2014 down their leg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those comments stung inside the Yankees\u2019 organization. They spent their offseason trying to improve defensively and on the basepaths. Four months later, Boone still takes the Dodgers\u2019 comments personally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like hearing that,\u201d Boone said. \u201cBut the reality is, we didn\u2019t play our best in the series, and they won. They have that right to say whatever. Hopefully, we\u2019re in that position next year and handle things with a little more class. The reality is, that\u2019s a great team and a great organization with a lot of great people I happen to know and respect, too. A few people sounding off isn\u2019t necessarily how I would want to draw it up, but they\u2019re the champs. They have that right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What also bothered Boone about the Dodgers\u2019 trash talk was not as much what was said but <em>who<\/em> said it. Kelly had a 4.78 ERA and wasn\u2019t on the World Series roster because of a shoulder injury, and he may not have been on it if he were healthy. Rojas went 0-for-3 in his lone World Series game. Taylor had a 74 wRC+ in 2024 and was exclusively used as a pinch runner and a defensive replacement in the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou didn\u2019t hear that from the (Freddie) Freemans, (Mookie) Betts, (Shohei) Ohtanis and (Clayton) Kershaws,\u201d Boone said. \u201cSometimes, you\u2019re coming off the drunkenness of winning a world championship. Some guys are more inclined to spout off and be a little more colorful than others. Again, that\u2019s their right. They won. Hopefully, we\u2019re in that position and do things a little better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, former Yankee Jon Berti told Foul Territory that he felt the Dodgers disrespected the Yankees so much that it felt like they were making it seem as if \u201cwe didn\u2019t even belong in the World Series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner recently said he believes his club is better now than it was at this point last year. That will be left up to debate for now and decided throughout the season. Boone believes the moves the Yankees made this offseason give them the opportunity to get back to the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>Losing Juan Soto was a blow to the organization. Boone reiterated that the club desperately wanted him to return, but the New York Mets had the higher offer, which left the Yankees needing to pivot. A clear objective from Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was to improve defensively, and they\u2019ve done that. Gleyber Torres, who finished with the most errors by a second baseman in 2024, is gone; Soto was a well-below-average right fielder; and Anthony Rizzo graded out negatively at first base. Shifting Aaron Judge back to right field should give the Yankees a better outfield alignment, even with Jasson Dom\u00ednguez inexperienced in left field. Jazz Chisholm Jr., the expected starter at second base, should be a massive upgrade over Torres.<\/p>\n<p>Like almost every team in baseball, the Yankees certainly have questions to answer and some holes on their roster, but they believe they\u2019re in a good spot at the start of spring. Boone hopes they\u2019ll be the ones this time who will be in a position to gloat if they wished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a chance to be a really good club, which is usually the case year in and year out when you get to put on this uniform,\u201d Boone said. \u201cIt\u2019s on us to start doing the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Hopefully, we&#8217;re in that position next year and handle things with a little more class,&#8217; the Yankees manager said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":32909,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-32906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-new-york-yankees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
