Dobbins mentioned that his father, Lance Dobbins, was "really good friends" with Yankees great Andy Pettitte and had a short career with the team before becoming a die-hard Sox fan: “He was actually drafted twice by the Yankees,” his son said. “Signed with them his last year, and then he got traded over to the Diamondbacks.”

Dobbins previously cited how his father, Lance, had been drafted twice by the Yankees and traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins has some explaining to do, according to the New York Post. Dobbins created a stir over the weekend when he made his dislike of the Yankees organization crystal clear, stemming from his father's brief career with New York.
