Jazz Chisholm Jr. faces a one-game suspension alongside a $5,000 fine for posting on social media after his ejection during a Yankees game. He believes the situation presents a gray area in the MLB rule against using electronic devices during games, claiming he wasn't technically in the game after being thrown out. Chisholm expressed surprise over the severity of the punishment for expressing his frustration but acknowledged the impulsive nature of his post. An appeal is anticipated, although he doesn't expect to win it.
"I had just gotten thrown out of the game, so that's why we're appealing it. There is a gray area. I'm not in the game. I'm not technically here after that."
"Not even f-king close!!!!!" Chisholm posted shortly after his ejection, which prompted the suspension and fine.
"I wouldn't say during a game, but I feel like we should be able to say whatever we want to say. At the end of the day, that's a lash-out, so it probably wouldn't happen again."
"I was a little surprised to get slapped with the one-game suspension in addition to a $5,000 fine - which I said was worth it."
