Boone suggests former Yankee Jose Trevino played role in Jazz Chisholm's ejection
Boone suggests former Yankee Jose Trevino played role in Jazz Chisholm's ejection originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
It's all fun and songs until someone gets ejected. A day after Jazz Chisholm, Jr. was tossed in the bottom of the ninth inning of the Yankees extra-inning loss in Cincinnati, New York Yankees manager said that former Bronx Bomber Jose Trevino might have to take some of the blame.

Boone told reporters before Wednesday's game that there was a 'pretty strong case' that Chisholm should not have been ejected, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. Chisholm, who had struck out in the top of the ninth, was still stewing about a low strike call when he took the field in the bottom of the inning.
That's when things unraveled.
Home plate umpire Mark Wegner was still near the plate when he turned and ejected Chisholm from across the diamond. Boone indicated that Trevino appeared to direct Wegner's attention to third base.

Trevino, who was traded to the Reds this offseason, has seemed to enjoy having his former teammates in Cincinnati this week. He trolled Aaron Judge on Monday night, using the Yankees' captain's walk-up song, Swag Surfin, as his own. He then caught Carlos Rodon off guard when he came to the plate to the Yankees' lefty's warm-up song.

Boone didn't deny that Chisholm was frustrated, but he took issue with how the situation was handled. Boone is notorious for getting in umpires' faces, many times just as a distraction so his players don't get tossed.
'I don't want him getting tossed there,' Boone said. 'I want me to get tossed there in those situations.'
Chisholm told reporters he was still talking about the pitch but didn't say anything personal. 'I looked at [Wegner] and said, 'Why are you looking at me?' and that's when I got tossed,' he said. 'I didn't say nothing crazy.'
The ejection came at a critical moment in a tight game. Boone had to scramble to fill the spot at third base.

Philadelphia getting WNBA team as part of 3-team expansion by 2030: "The W's coming"
The WNBA is finally coming to Philadelphia as part of a three-city expansion by 2030, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the 76ers announced Monday. The Philly team, owned by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which also owns the Sixers, and Comcast Spectacor, will begin play in 2030. The announcement comes months after HBSE and Comcast announced a new shared arena with the Sixers and the Flyers set to open in 2031. "Philadelphia, the W's coming. Let's go, this is awesome," Harris said Monday. "To the city of Philly, this is your team. Philadelphia is a city about sports, and basketball in particular, including generations of extraordinary women's basketball talent, athletes who have shaped the game and inspired countless others." "For me and the community, bringing the WNBA to Philly wasn't just nice to have. It was an obligation." Harris said the WNBA team will give girls in the Philadelphia region a team to root for and be inspired by. "Sports have changed my life, and I've seen them change so many other lives," Harris said. "I have two daughters, one of whom is in the audience, and I believe deeply in the power of sports to inspire, uplift and teach. Lessons that carry far beyond athletics. Now, millions of girls will have the same opportunity." Engelbert, who is from Collingswood, New Jersey, cited the growing popularity of women's basketball and the WNBA beyond the latest expansion. The three new teams all have NBA ownership groups, and each paid a $250 million expansion fee. Engelbert, whose father, Kurt, played basketball at St. Joseph's University and is in the Big 5 Hall of Fame, also said the HBSE's long-term commitment to making a WNBA team work in Philadelphia was a key factor. "On behalf of the entire WNBA, I'm thrilled to welcome Cleveland and Detroit back and Philadelphia officially to the WNBA," Engelbert said. "These are proud cities with powerful sports legacies, each one rich in basketball tradition and fueled by passionate fan bases. We know they're going to show up for the W. Now, they join the most elite women's sports league in the world. It's far more than an expansion of our league. It's an evolution of it." Last year, while the Sixers were pushing to build a new arena in Center City, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker joined the call for the city to get a WNBA team. Parker said she believes the Sixers getting a new arena would help draw the league to Philadelphia. "We don't have a WNBA team here in the city of Philadelphia," Parker said in September 2024. "Do any of y'all ever notice that? Y'all know y'all mayor don't like that." In January, the Sixers' plans to build 76 Place at Market East were scrapped when the team and Comcast Spectacor announced plans for a new stadium in South Philadelphia. During the press conference announcing the shared arena in January, Emmy-winning comedian and actress Wanda Sykes also joined the fray to declare that now is the time to bring the WNBA to Philadelphia. This is a developing story and will be updated.

Tiffany Hayes scores 21, Valkyries rout Storm in 10th sellout at Ballhalla
Tiffany Hayes scored 21 points, Veronica Burton contributed 15 points, five rebounds and five assists, and the Golden State Valkyries ran away from the Seattle Storm for a 84-57 victory Sunday night. Valkyries leading scorer Kayla Thornton headed to the locker room at the 9:22 mark of the third quarter appearing to hold her neck, and the team said she was undergoing further evaluation without providing details of the injury. She shot 1 for 9 and missed all five of her 3-point tries, held to two points while grabbing five rebounds. Her teammates picked up the slack — on both ends of the floor. Skylar Diggins had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds for Seattle, which came in leading the league in field-goal percentage at 47.0% but was limited to a season-low 27% (20 for 74) by the stingy Golden State defense. The Storm had only been held below 40% once, shooting 33.3% in the season opener at Phoenix on May 17.

Ogwumike, who starred at nearby Stanford, finished with eight points on 3-of-10 shooting and seven rebounds. The Storm had won four of five. Both teams struggled from 3-point range — Seattle went 6 of 28 and the Valkyries 8 of 27. Golden State center Temi Fágbénlé played 20 minutes after resting for two games upon returning from a brief absence to play for Great Britain in the EuroBasket 2025 tournament. The game attracted some famous fans among the sellout crowd of 18,064 — Golden State's 10th in as many home games at Chase Center — including Warriors two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, South Carolina women's coach Dawn Staley, former Storm and U.S. star Sue Bird and U.S. soccer great Megan Rapinoe. Valkyries guard Carla Leite missed her fourth straight game with a back injury. Seattle goes on a three-game East Coast trip beginning Thursday at Atlanta. The Valkyries play at Minnesota on Saturday.

Vin Diesel Confirms Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner Will Return for the FAST & FURIOUS Finale in 2027 — GeekTyrant
Vin Diesel just gave Fast & Furious fans a moment to remember during his surprise appearance at FuelFest in Southern California over the weekend. While standing in front of a cheering crowd, he officially confirmed that the franchise finale is locked in for an April 2027 release, and that it will bring back Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner. Diesel also revealed that the final installment will return to the streets of Los Angeles, the same city where it all began 25 years ago. Diesel previously said: 'Los Angeles needs it now more than ever… Los Angeles is where Fast and Furious started filming 25 years ago… and now Fast will finally return home.' But the headline-grabber came when Diesel confirmed the return of Brian O'Conner, the character made iconic by Walker, who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2013. Walker starred alongside Diesel in the original 2001 film and appeared in five more entries before his death. Diesel said: 'To be able to bring Brian back in the finale means everything.' Though Diesel didn't go into details about how Brian's return will be executed, the franchise has previously used a combination of visual effects and body doubles—primarily Walker's brothers Cody and Caleb—to honor his legacy, most notably in Furious 7 . That film, which also opened in April, remains the highest-grossing installment to date, raking in more than $1.5 billion worldwide. This new chapter, often referred to as Fast X: Part 2 , is positioned as the grand finale to one of the most successful franchises in movie history. Diesel has long pushed for Universal to finalize a release plan, especially following Fast X , which brought in over $700 million globally. His persistence seems to have paid off. Christina Hodson ( The Flash, Bumblebee ) and Oren Uziel ( The Lost City, 22 Jump Street ) are co-writing the script. It was also previously confirmed that Fast X director Louis Leterrier is returning to direct. What do you think about bringing Walker's character back for the big finale?
