The Boston Red Sox and The New York Yankees rivalry is well known. Even before the time of Derek Jeter, these two teams used to be considered the most fierce rivals. This rivalry is continuing to date, even if both teams are now only shadows of what they used to be. Though the Yankees are struggling this year, they have been giving the Red Sox a hard time in their ongoing series. Surprisingly, this scenario is amusing for a former Red Sox player.

Teams often trade players or let them go during the Free Agency. This is a normal practice in the baseball world. But if the team and the players have internal disputes, that sometimes causes them to have grudges against the team. That’s what fans witness after the game between The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

Former Boston Red Sox Players Mocked Their Former Team

The Playoffs are only a few steps away, and teams are giving their 200% to win each game. Still, struggle is a part of every sport, and the Red Sox have been getting that fact during recent games. While The Yankees are already facing their worst season, they are still giving them a hard time. Though most Red Sox fans and players are upset about this, a recent Instagram post shows Xander Bogaerts and Mookie Betts have been enjoying this struggle.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres had a faceoff where the two previous teammates appeared against each other. Both teams tried their best, but the Padres won the game. However, what attracted the attention of the players more was the moments between the former Red Sox shortstop and outfielder. Mookie Betts even posted on his Instagram with the caption, “Always good to see my bro @thexman2.”

The image shows the two former Red Sox players laughing and mocking their previous team for their present struggles. Both of them have spent a long time playing with The Boston Red Sox, but later, the team didn’t agree to pay their amount. Eventually, they first traded Betts, and later they let Bogaerts leave during Free Agency. The Instagram post reveals, even after years, these two baseball stars have something in common between them. They didn’t let go of the opportunity to mock their former team when they got united, regardless of rivals.

According to some fans, the leave of Betts and Bogaerts again brought the World Series drought to the Boston Red Sox, as they have faced previously. Some say the Curse Of Bambino again started.

Did Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts’ Leave Started Curse Of Bambino?

Curse of Bambino is referred to as the World Series Draught the Boston Red Sox suffered until 2004. This was an 86-year-old trophy drought that started with the trade of Babe Ruth. This trade of the legendary baseball star had gone pathetically wrong for the team. So, fans have been blaming the trade of Betts and Bogaerts again for bringing the curse to the Boston Red Sox.

Since these two players have left, again, the performance of the team deteriorated. Though they have been performing well with their respective teams, especially Mookie Betts. So, maybe his trade was a big mistake, just like Ruth’s was. They have lost several series this season, and even in their current series with the Yankees, The Bronx Bombers are leading 2-0.
