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.

Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins made some headlines prior to his first career start against the Yankees last week when he said he'd rather retire than pitch for New York. Now he's explaining why the claims he made about his father once playing in the minors for Boston's longtime rival aren't the intentional fabrication a New York Post report says they were.

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