Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.
- Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.
- Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.
- Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.

Quick Glance: Zach Wilson Trade Notes: Jets Deal QB to Broncos before 2024 NFL Draft
- Nearly three years have passed since the New York Jets selected quarterback Zach Wilson as the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and are now officially trading the heavily criticized signal-caller to the Denver Broncos.
- At the age of 24, Wilson has been available since the beginning of the 2024 offseason, with the team's general manager, Joe Douglas, openly stating the intention to relocate the former first-round pick.

- By signing journeyman Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers' primary backup earlier this offseason, the Jets effectively indicated the conclusion of Zach Wilson's tenure with the team.
