Lance Dobbins a little bytch and a liar.

A story late Tuesday from The New York Post’s Joel Sherman alleges that Dobbins, who has appeared in 10 games (8 starts) for the Red Sox this year, made “false claims” about his father Lance Dobbins’ baseball career and relationship with ex-Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte. In a Boston Herald story from June 7 in which Dobbins was quoted as saying he’d “retire” if the Yankees were the last team to give him a contract, Dobbins also said his father “was actually drafted twice by the Yankees,” then “got traded over to the Diamondbacks” and was “really good friends” with Pettitte, who spent 15 of his 18 MLB seasons in the Bronx.
Sherman’s reporting, however, found no evidence of Lance Dobbins having a career with the Yankees. The Dobbins family did not comment for that story, which cited multiple sources — including an MLB search of its databases. Pettitte, reached by The Post by phone, told Sherman he “nor anyone he asked in his family remember” Lance Dobbins or a friendship with him.
“Dobbins’ father, Lance, does not come up as a Yankee draft pick in any search of the team’s selections on Baseball Reference from any single season,” Sherman reported. “Yankees GM Brian Cashman, who has been with the organization since the late 1980s, has no recollection of the Yankees drafting Lance Dobbins and said a check with the Yankees amateur department revealed no drafting of a Lance Dobbins. When contacted by The Post, both Joe Garagiola Jr., who was the Diamondbacks original general manager, and Buck Showalter, who was the original manager in waiting, said they had no memory of a Lance Dobbins, or of making a trade with the Yankees for a Lance Dobbins.”
The 2025 Red Sox media guide — an official source on all things related to the team — noted on Hunter Dobbins’ biography page that “his father, Lance, pitched for 2 seasons (1996-97) in the Diamondbacks organization.” Hunter Dobbins’ official Texas Tech athletic bio page from 2021 says that Dobbins’ “father played baseball at Alabama and in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.” Neither made mention of any time with the Yankees.
Other outlets, including MLB.com and MassLive, citing the Red Sox media guide mention, have made reference to the note about Lance Dobbins’ history with the Diamondbacks. But Baseball Reference only lists a right-handed pitcher named Lance Dobbins having pitched for two independent clubs: the Meridian Brakemen of the Big South League in 1996 and 1997 and the Ohio Valley Redcoats of the Frontier League in 1997.
An August 2023 profile of Lance Dobbins in the The Bryan-College Station Eagle newspaper says: “He pitched in the minor leagues in Albany, New York, in 1995, in Meridian, Mississippi, in 1995-96, then in Tucson, Arizona, in 1997-98 with the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. He sat out 1999 after shoulder surgery, and during that year everything changed, specifically on Aug. 30, 1999, when his first son Hunter was born.”
Hunter Dobbins was made aware of the New York Post report, which is featured on the paper’s back page with a headline that reads “Wicked Whoppah! Dobbins’ hatred of Yankees seemingly built on series of lies" late Tuesday and declined to meet with reporters after Boston’s 3-1 win through a Red Sox official. Dobbins indicated that he planned to talk to his family about the matter and expects to address it before Wednesday’s game between the Red Sox and Rays at the team’s request.
Dobbins is next scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Yankees at Fenway Park.
