The Red Sox’s organizational dysfunction with respect to Anthony and the rest of the roster was the subject of a chat between ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” crew on their Monday morning podcast. Yankees legendary pitcher David Cone even got into the action.

Carlos Narvaez hit a three-run homer against his former team to spark a five-run sixth inning as the Boston Red Sox downed the host New York Yankees 11-7 on Sunday night.

With a 39-25, first-place record, the Yankees are one of the best teams in baseball. Certainly, in the American League. However, an unsuccessful weekend against the fourth-place Red Sox – Boston took 2 of 3 in the Bronx and dropped double digits in the last two games – highlighted the Yankees’ room for improvement ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.
