CINCINNATI — Jazz Chisholm Jr. was seeing red Tuesday night, which Jose Trevino may have had something to do with.
By Wednesday, the only red in Chisholm's sight was the color of the right-field seats where his moonshot of a two-run homer was landing.

And of course, his trip around the bases brought him right past Trevino, where the Yankees third baseman got the last laugh with his former teammate.
A night after getting ejected in the ninth inning, Chisholm let his bat do the talking, with his two-run shot keying a 7-1 win over the Reds to avoid a sweep at Great American Ballpark.
Max Fried was terrific again, tossing seven innings of one-run (unearned) ball while helping the Yankees (46-34) win for the fourth time in their last 13 games and maintain a one-game lead over the Rays atop the AL East.

He had been upset about a called strike against him in the top of the ninth and then was still talking (he claimed) to himself at third base while taking grounders when he looked up and saw home plate umpire Mark Wegner staring at him.
Chisholm asked Wegner why he was looking at him, which was apparently enough to get him tossed.

Before Wednesday's game, manager Aaron Boone indicated — perhaps slightly tongue-in-cheek — that Trevino 'contributed to the ejection' by getting Wegner to look at Chisholm.
Video later surfaced via the YES Network that showed Trevino, who had come out on deck, appearing to tip off Wegner in Chisholm's direction.

Yankees trade deadline takeaways: Relief is on the way, statement of intent, more versatility
The New York Yankees are undeniably better than they were a week ago. On paper, that is. General manager Brian Cashman and his front office fired off nine trades between Friday and Thursday's trade deadline, addressing issues throughout a roster that needed help in all areas if the Yankees are to return to the World Series for the second straight season. Advertisement Whether they can regain ground in the American League East, or at least maintain their lead in the wild-card race, will depend largely on how soon star Aaron Judge can recover from a right flexor tendon strain and return to being the best hitter in baseball and playing right field full time. But much of everything else will rest on whether the newcomers step up: David Bednar, Camilo Doval and Jake Bird must help lock down the bullpen in the middle and late innings; third basemen Ryan McMahon and Amed Rosario and outfielder Austin Slater have to provide pop at the bottom of the order. The new relievers should prove to be the Yankees' most consequential additions. Their relief unit, as a whole, has been bad over the past month-plus. Since June 13, the Yankees have gone 14-27 — the sixth-worst mark in the majors. During that span, their bullpen had a 4.98 ERA, which ranked 25th in baseball. Now, manager Aaron Boone will be able to turn to Bednar (2.37 ERA, 17 saves) and Doval (3.09 ERA, 15 saves) alongside Devin Williams and Luke Weaver — likely forming a closer by committee rather than committing to any one of them. Boone will also be able to use Bird to put out fires. Though Bird posted a 4.73 ERA in 45 games, he had a 3.45 FIP and he fanned 10.5 batters per nine innings. He also impressed several Yankees hitters when he faced them with the Colorado Rockies in May. And forget about the trade deadline for a moment. Fernando Cruz (oblique strain) and Mark Leiter Jr. (leg fracture) are expected to return from the injured list in the coming weeks. If both can get healthy, the Yankees' relief corps should go from a weakness to a major strength. — Kuty Kirschner's key takeaway: The Yankees are a much more complete team than they were yesterday. It was a home run of a deadline for Cashman and his front office. Advertisement Sure, the Yankees could have used another starting pitcher, but Boone now has several weapons in his bullpen that he can deploy at any moment. The bullpen went from being one of the weakest parts of their team to arguably its biggest strength. Doval, Bednar, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver give Boone four legitimate options to close games on any given night. The Yankees have added swing-and-miss and velocity, two key elements their bullpen was missing over the past several months. The moves the Yankees made could certainly be enough to get them back to the World Series. Here's a review of the Yankees' notable trades before the deadline. Yankees get: Camilo Doval, RHP Giants get: Trystan Vrieling, RHP; Jesus Rodriguez, C; Parks Harbor, 1B Doval was the Yankees' final major move before the deadline. He'll be another late-inning option. In 47 games, he had a 3.09 ERA and fanned 9.6 batters per nine innings. He led the league in saves with 39 in 2023. He won't be a free agent until after the 2027 season. Yankees get: Jake Bird, RHP Rockies get: Roc Riggio, 2B; Ben Shields, LHP The Yankees went into Thursday hoping to land at least two relievers for their reeling bullpen. Cashman did even more. Bird is another high-strikeout, high-ground ball middle reliever. Fans may scoff at Bird's 4.73 ERA, but his peripherals suggest he's a much better pitcher than that. He has the 15th-largest differential between his ERA and FIP among all relievers. He should make a difference in the bullpen. Riggio was the headliner for the Rockies. He's been one of the biggest breakout performers in the minors for the Yankees, posting a 170 wRC+ across High A and Double A. But he did not have a positional future in New York. Yankees get: David Bednar, RHP Pirates get: Rafael Flores, C; Edgleen Perez, C; Brian Sanchez, OF Advertisement Bednar, 30, is having a nice season with a 2.37 ERA and 12.1 strikeouts per nine innings — just what the Yankees needed at the back of their bullpen. He is owed the remainder of his $5.9 million salary for this year, and he won't be a free agent until after next season. That's big, considering Luke Weaver and Devin Williams' contracts expire after this year. Flores and Perez each were ranked among the Yankees' top 20 prospects to start the season. Flores showed power at Double A (16 homers), and Perez hasn't played above High A. Yankees get: Austin Slater, UTIL White Sox get: Gage Ziehl, RHP Takeaway: The Yankees traded for Slater on Wednesday afternoon, and plan to use him as part of their new approach of trying to capitalize on platoon advantages. Slater hits left-handers well — something that can't be said for Jasson Domínguez and Trent Grisham. Slater had an .860 OPS against lefties this season when the Yankees acquired him. He can play all three outfield spots, though manager Aaron Boone said it's more likely that he'd stick to the corners. Slater will be a free agent after this season. Ziehl, meanwhile, wasn't close to contributing in the Bronx anytime soon. The 22-year-old, whom the Yankees drafted in the fourth round in 2024, made 14 starts this season at High-A Tampa, going 4-4 with a 4.96 ERA and 7.6 strikeouts per nine innings. Yankees get: Amed Rosario, UTIL Nationals get: Clayton Beeter, RHP; Browm Martinez, OF Takeaway: Think of the Ryan McMahon trade as a two-part move. McMahon has a .684 OPS against left-handers in his career. Enter Rosario. When the Yankees are facing a lefty, Rosario could play third base in place of McMahon. Rosario has a career .800 OPS against left-handers. In addition to manning third, Rosario can play second, shortstop and left field. He's a better bench option for Boone than Oswald Peraza. Advertisement From the Nationals' perspective, they're taking a chance on Beeter, who has struggled with his command this season. He has elite strikeout stuff, but the inability to locate his pitches made the Yankees feel comfortable about moving him for a rental in Rosario. Yankees get: Ryan McMahon, 3B Rockies get: Griffin Herring, LHP; Josh Grosz, RHP Takeaway: The Yankees desperately needed a third baseman. Peraza and Jorbit Vivas were not the answers in the interim nor the long term. In McMahon, the Yankees received one of the best defensive third basemen in the sport. Since his debut in 2017, McMahon ranks fourth among all third basemen in Defensive Runs Saved and Outs Above Average. McMahon, who's under contract through 2027, also possesses offensive upside with his ability to make loud contact. The Yankees' hitting department will try to get McMahon to pull the ball in the air more often than he did with Colorado, to take advantage of Yankee Stadium's home run-friendly right-field fence. Parting with Herring, the main part of the Rockies' return, shouldn't be overlooked. Yankees officials were high on his potential, but the need for a third baseman outweighed waiting on Herring to make the majors in a few years. (Photo of David Bednar: David Berding / Getty Images)

Giants trade Camilo Doval to Yankees, Mike Yastrzemski to Royals at deadline buzzer
For the second day in a row, the San Francisco Giants dealt away a key figure from their best unit, moving 2023 All-Star Camilo Doval, the team's closer. And one day after trading longest-tenured player Tyler Rogers, they sent the second-longest tenured player, outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, to the Royals. The Giants traded Doval, 28, to the Yankees, according to multiple reports; Jack Curry of the YES Network had the news first. He's likely to be a set-up man in New York, as he was for much of last year and the start of this one. The Yankees will have two more years of control over the Dominican right-hander, who has 15 saves and a 3.09 ERA. Two seasons ago, he led the league with 39 saves. According to Curry, the Giants will receive four prospects: catcher Jesus Rodriguez, third baseman Parks Harbor, right-hander Trystan Vrieling and lefty Carlos De La Rosa, who is the Yankees' No. 25 prospect, according to Baseball America. Rodriguez is No. 29. The Giants moved Yastrzemski just before the deadline for right-hander Yunior Marte, 21, who has a 2.74 ERA at Class-A Carolina, with 79 strikeouts in 82 innings, and only 20 walks. (Not the 30-year-old Yunior Marte who pitched for the Giants in 2022.) Yastzremski is likely to be in a platoon with recently acquired Randal Grichuk in Kansas City. Like Rogers, Yastrzemski - who made many of the all-time greatest catches in Oracle Park history, including launching himself over a wall for a foul ball Wednesday - will be a free agent after the season. Both were Buster Posey's teammates and there is always the possibility he might choose to re-sign one or both. With Rogers and Doval departing, Randy Rodriguez, an All-Star this season, might be used as a closer for the first time in his career. Ryan Walker, who closed much of last season, also is available. Luis Matos is likely to see more time in the outfield with Yastzremski's departure, but the club also could add left-handed hitting Drew Gilbert, acquired in the Mets deal, to the mix. This is a breaking story. Check back for updates.

Stanton and Rice hit early homers as Yankees beat Rays 7-4 on busy trade-deadline day
NEW YORK (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice homered in the first two innings and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-4 in a game delayed by rain for nearly three hours Thursday. The Yankees highlighted a busy trade-deadline day by agreeing to acquire reliever David Bednar from Pittsburgh in a deal they were working to finalize. Stanton hit his eighth homer since returning from tendinitis in both elbows last month four batters in for a 3-0 lead against Tampa Bay starter Ryan Pepiot (6-9). Rice hit a three-run homer into the Yankees' bullpen in right-center to make it 6-0. New York starter Marcus Stroman (3-3) allowed four runs and six hits in five innings. Cody Bellinger hit an RBI single ahead of Stanton's homer. Yankees newcomer Austin Slater had an RBI groundout in the third for New York, which won for the fourth time in five games since putting Aaron Judge on the injured list. Stroman did not allow a hit until the fourth, when the Rays scored four times. Jonathan Aranda and Jonny DeLuca hit RBI singles, Taylor Walls had an RBI double and Junior Caminero lifted a sacrifice fly. Aranda was the third Tampa Bay starter to exit the game after he was holding his left wrist following a collision at first base with Stanton. Yandy Díaz exited with a bruised right forearm after getting hit by a pitch in the first inning and rookie Chandler Simpson exited with a sprained left index finger in the third. Pepiot was tagged for seven runs and six hits in four innings. Key moment Stanton homered after Walls lost a popup by Paul Goldschmidt in the wind and the ball dropped behind in shallow left field for a double. Key stats Rice has seven homers in 21 starts as a leadoff hitter. Up next New York LHP Carlos Rodón (11-7, 3.18 ERA) opens a three-game series in Miami against the Marlins on Friday. Tampa Bay RHP Shane Baz (8-7, 4.61 ERA) faces LHP Clayton Kershaw (4-2, 3.62) in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting Dodgers on Friday. ___ AP MLB:
