Red Sox Make Surprising Marcelo Mayer Announcement Before Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees took the first game of a three-game set on Friday against the Boston Red Sox in what was the first of 13 games against their fierce rivals.

Rookie Marcelo Mayer again is not in the Red Sox lineup against a left-handed starter. It's the fourth time in the past six games.

The 22-year-old was out of the lineup again Saturday, with the Red Sox facing the Yankees’ Ryan Yarbrough, their third opposing lefthanded starting pitcher of the week.

Teel made his major league debut on Friday night for the Chicago White Sox and his former teammate Marcelo Mayer had a nice message for him on Instagram.

NEW YORK — Red Sox rookie Marcelo Mayer made a trade with a Yankees fan after Friday’s game. The 22-year-old rookie blasted his first big league home run 410 feet in the right-center field stands here at Yankee Stadium. The young fan, who caught it, gave Mayer the ball in exchange for an autographed bat and another ball.

MLB insider Hector Gomez creates a wild trade idea, sending the Boston Red Sox Jarren Duran and Marcelo Mayer to the San Diego Padres for Xander Bogaerts and their top three prospects.
