Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Deletes NSFW Post About MLB Umpire's Call After Ejection

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. sounded off on home-plate umpire John Bacon in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

In a since-deleted post on X, Chisholm wrote Bacon's called third strike on him in the seventh inning was "not even f--king close!!!!!"

Bacon made the call on a pitch from Rays reliever Mason Montgomery that appeared to be low based on the K-zone box on the YES Network broadcast.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Chisholm said he "got fired up" because he really thought it should have been called a ball. He added he didn't feel like his immediate comments to Bacon warranted an ejection, but "probably after" the signal was made he said some things to justify it.

The social-media post will likely result in discipline from MLB. One of the rules under MLB's policy states league-affiliated employees may not display or transmit content "that contains obscene or sexually explicit language, images, or acts."

This was Chisholm's first time being ejected from a game as a member of the Yankees. He was acquired in a July 2024 trade with the Miami Marlins.

Chisholm is hitting .169/.272/.451 with six homers in 19 games this season. Despite his ejection, the Yankees won their fourth straight game.
