Where does Fort Myers' JetBlue Park rank among spring training stadiums? See the list
Spring training is over for 2025, but one of Fort Myers' spring venues is bringing in accolades.
JetBlue Park was voted one of the top spring training parks in the USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards, released Wednesday. The stadium is the spring home of the Boston Red Sox.

The stadium opened in 2012 and stands out from the rest of the spring training venues across the Grapefruit League. That's because of the replica Green Monster, the huge left-field wall that the Red Sox brought with them from Fenway Park. Fort Myers' version also includes a manual scoreboard, as well as seats inside and atop the wall.
"Boston may host the oldest active stadium in all of the MLB, but the Red Sox set off for much balmier temperatures in between regular seasons," 10BEST wrote. "During a visit to JetBlue Park at Fenway South, guests can admire design flourishes like the replica of Fenway Park's iconic Green Monster, while a signature sloping roof is in place over the stands to help beat the heat."
JetBlue Park doesn't just host Red Sox games. The Savannah Bananas also played there in February.

MLB Makes Strong Aaron Judge Statement on Sunday
MLB Makes Strong Aaron Judge Statement on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox prepare for Sunday night's series finale at Yankee Stadium, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET on ESPN, Major League Baseball made a pointed move of its own on Sunday morning. Advertisement Just hours before the rubber match in the storied AL East rivalry, MLB took to X to shine a spotlight on Aaron Judge's numbers through 63 games, figures that sit comfortably among the all-time great offensive campaigns. Major League Baseball posted that Judge "is putting together an all-time season: AVG: .390 HR: 21 RBI: 51 OBP: .488 SLG: .746 OPS: 1.234." His batting average (.390), slugging percentage (.746), on-base percentage (.488) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.233) comfortably lead the MLB this season. Judge's 21 home runs (third in MLB) and 51 RBIs (sixth in MLB) further solidify his standing as the league's premier slugger. Advertisement He also leads the league in hits (92) and ranks second in runs (59). New York Yankees third baseman Oswald Peraza (left) and designated hitter Aaron Judge. John Froschauer-Imagn Images Since his debut with the Yankees on Aug. 13, 2016, Judge has steadily built a resume packed with milestones, including six All-Star selections, four Silver Slugger Awards and two Hank Aaron Awards (given to the top offensive performer in each league). He is also a two-time AL MVP (2022, 2024), including his record-breaking 62-homer season of 2022, which broke the previous Yankees franchise mark and stands as the American League single-season record. New York enters Sunday's finale tied at one game apiece in the three-game set after Boston's 10-7 victory on Saturday. Advertisement Overall, New York sits at 39-24 atop the AL East and second in league standings, behind only the Detroit Tigers (42-24).

Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins says he would retire before signing with Yankees ahead of rivalry start
Hunter Dobbins will toe the slab for the Boston Red Sox in the Bronx on Sunday night as the team faces their AL East rival New York Yankees. The only time Dobbins ever wants to pitch at Yankee Stadium is for the road team. "My dad was a die-hard Red Sox fan," the 25-year-old right-hander told the Boston Herald. "And I've said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire." Its only right Dobbins was drafted by Boston in the eighth round of the 2021 Amateur Draft out of Texas Tech given his loyalty to the franchise. He even said he wasn't as attached to the Red Sox as his father was, but "I think out of disdain for the Yankees, I watched anybody but them." There have been plenty of times in professional sports where players, and subsequently their relatives, change alliances they've had throughout their lives because they now play for a specific team. Dobbins hopes that he can have a long career with the Red Sox and not have to worry about a potential Yankees contract. But no one truly knows how their career will shake out. There was one Yankees player, though, that Dobbins tipped his cap to even today. "Can I say all of them but Andy Pettitte?" he responded when asked who his least favorite Yankee was. "Andy Pettitte and my dad were really good friends." This is Dobbins' first season with the Red Sox, where he's had seven starts out of his nine appearances. In 44.1 innings, Dobbins has given up 20 earned runs for a 4.06 ERA with 37 strikeouts to 10 walks. He also has a 1.331 WHIP. Dobbins finds himself in position to help his Red Sox beat the Yankees in their first series of the year. Boston took down New York, 10-7, on Saturday night after getting to New York starter Ryan Yarbrough early. The Yankees are in first place in the AL East at 39-24, while the Red Sox's victory brought them to 31-35.
