Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm sees ‘gray area’ around MLB rule as he appeals suspension for emotional post
NY Post
Jazz Chisholm Jr. insists he does not ultimately care whether he wins the appeal of his one-game suspension.
But the Yankees second baseman believes there is some gray area in the rule that MLB said he violated Thursday night when he posted to X, while the game was still going, his frustrations about the called third strike that got him ejected. League policy dictates that uniformed personnel are not allowed to use electronic devices during a game (aside from league-approved iPads in the dugout), which obviously extends to posting on social media as well.
“I had just gotten thrown out of the game, so that’s why we’re appealing it,” Chisholm said Saturday before going 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in a 10-8, 10-inning loss to the Rays. “There is a gray area. I’m not in the game. I’m not technically here after that.”
Minutes after he was tossed by home plate umpire John Bacon in the seventh inning for arguing balls and strikes, Chisholm went back to the clubhouse and posted, “Not even f–king close!!!!!” He later deleted the post, but the damage was done.
Chisholm indicated he was “a little” surprised to get slapped with the one-game suspension in addition to a $5,000 fine — which he said was worth it.
His appeal hearing is expected to be held next week, though it would be surprising if the suspension is dropped.
