The New York Yankees were considered among the favorites to win the World Series for much of last season, but ended up having to watch their arch rivals win it instead.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone admitted that he watched the entire postseason, including the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series. He admitted that it was tough, but it lit a fire under him ahead of 2019.

The Yankees always have championship ambitions and will have them again this year. They don’t really need the motivation, as Boone said. But it’s almost impossible to watch a rival celebrate without feeling spurred on a little bit more.
One thing is certain: a lot of people are coming for Boston this year, and they’re going to have to be ready.
