7 h. ago Yankees manager took a shot at Buck Martinez in hilarious back

Despite some recent shots thrown back and forth, Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez has no issue with Aaron Boone.Boone, the New York Yankees manager, took exception to some comments made by Martinez last month. While calling a game, the long-time Blue Jays announcer said the Yankees were not "a very good team."The comments caused quite a bit of backlash and were clearly heard by the Yankees.

Despite not having Bo Bichette in the lineup, the Toronto Blue Jays hold a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees in the ALDS.Bichette, who suffered a knee injury late in the season, was tied for second amongst all MLB players with 181 hits despite playing in just 139 games.Though Bichette's injury kept him off the Blue Jays' ALDS roster, there was hope amongst the fanbase that he might be able to return soon after if they were to advance.
