“Not even f — ing close,” Chisholm wrote in a post of X before he later deleted it.
Chisholm reportedly announced the message minutes after his draft and while the game was still going on. The post was an apparent violation of Major League Baseball’s Social media Policy prohibiting the use of electronic devices during games.

Yankees beat Rays 6-3.
