Joe Kelly Criticizes Yankees After World Series Win

After the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series victory over the New York Yankees, Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly did not hold back in his criticism of the Yankees, labeling them as the 'eighth or ninth-best' team in the postseason. On the 'Baseball Isn't Boring' podcast, Kelly argued that the Yankees' performance was a 'mismatch from the get-go,' highlighting other teams like the Padres and Phillies as superior. He suggested that the Yankees made numerous costly mistakes, particularly in Game 5, where they squandered a 5-0 lead due to poor defense. Kelly, who did not pitch in the postseason due to a shoulder injury, emphasized the Dodgers' superior talent and preparation. His remarks are likely to stir controversy among Yankees fans, as he contrasted the commitment of Dodgers' superstars with that of the Yankees'.
