Prominent Boston Red Sox announcer Will Flemming was not a fan of Jazz Chisholm’s antics, and used some harsh words to describe the player. Even after all these years, the rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees is as heated as ever.

Uncover the incident between New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Red Sox broadcaster that stirred up reactions.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed it was his decision to have Jazz Chisholm Jr. steal bases late in a six-run game last weekend, according to Greg Joyce of the New York Post.

Red Sox radio broadcaster Will Flemming drew attention for controversial comments he made about Jazz Chisholm and Austin Wells during the team's series against the Yankees.

Among other things, WEEI announcer Will Flemming said a Red Sox pitcher should “fight Chisholm on the field” and/or “drill” Yankees batter Austin Wells because Chisholm stole second and third bases in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ eventual 16-1 win over Boston in the Bronx on Sunday.

Broadcaster Will Flemming’s suggestion that Boston's pitcher should throw at batter Austin Wells drew condemnation from several Yankees.

The Yankees second baseman was labeled by Red Sox broadcaster Will Flemming as a “bush league player” who “plays the game the wrong way.” Fleming indicated that Chisholm was out of line because the Red Sox had elected not to hold him on at first base — which is the very development that led Aaron Boone to tell Chisholm to take off.

Who is stealing bases, who isn't, why, and how?

Red Sox play-by-play man Will Flemming took exception to Jazz Chisholm Jr. stealing two bases with Yankees up six runs in eighth.

Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s future after the 2026 MLB season remains up in the air and the New York Mets could snag the New York Yankees' infielder in free agency.
