The MLB Players Association’s social media policy also states players cannot display or transmit content that “questions the impartiality of or otherwise denigrates a Major League umpire.”Chisholm believed a 3-2 pitch from Rays reliever Mason Montgomery was below the zone, but Bacon called the fastball a strike. Chisholm turned to Bacon and was captured by television cameras mouthing, “That was not close.”

While Chisholm was walking away, Bacon tossed him from the game. The Yankees’ second baseman then tossed his helmet onto the ground before retreating to the clubhouse.This story will be updated.
