I don't see why that would make the Red Sox fans hate the Yankees as much as it would make them hate Johnny himself. Being a beloved player and jumping to your top rival is perfectly reasonable grounds to put the player on your shitlist (especially in Damon's case when he had said throughout that season that the Yanks weren't his kind of team). But the team can hardly be faulted for wanting to make their team better.

Much like Jeter, seeing Mo in a Red Sox uni would have been a total mindfuck. No doubt either man would become public enemy #1 and get booed mercilessly at the first game in New York. It'd all be forgiven once they retired, though.
