On Wednesday, just hours before the Yankees would suffer a 6-3 defeat to the Orioles in the third game of a four-game series, Aaron Boone expressed his condolences and sympathy for everyone affected by the news. He stated, “It’s a sad situation, and our hearts go out to everyone involved.”
Although Jimmy got a suspension for the rest of the 2023 season, he played whopping 31 games earlier this season. He did a decent job as a relieving pitcher, but the latest incident has put him on the wrong side of the fans.
