"It's an interesting comment as a player to make that." The post Yankees respond to Hunter Dobbins’ comments appeared first on Boston.com.

The righthander was quoted by the Boston Herald on Saturday saying: "If the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire."

After declaring he'd rather retire than play for the Yankees, Hunter Dobbins came through in his first start in the Bronx. The Red Sox bats also hit five home runs to pick up the series win.
