After the Yankees finally scored a run to tie the game on Tuesday night in Seattle, Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected after arguing a strike call that appeared to be a ball.
With Anthony Volpe on second and one out and the score tied at one apiece, Jasson Dominguez was called out looking on a strike three that appeared to be low.

Dominguez, who is reserved and not known for arguing with officials, threw up his hands in the air and started to argue with the home plate umpire.
That prompted Boone to bolt out of the dugout to save Dominguez, who was headed back to the dugout, from getting ejected and was soon tossed from the game.
Boone got his money's worth, getting right in the face of the home plate umpire Mark Wegner.

The call came after the Bombers, who were trailing 1-0 in the ninth, tied the game on Anthony Volpe's check-swing RBI groundout that scored Pablo Reyes as the tying run.
Mariners closer Andres Munoz got Oswald Peraza to ground out to third base for the final out to escape further damage.

Eugenio Suarez gets 100% honest on Mariners return
The post Eugenio Suarez gets 100% honest on Mariners return appeared first on ClutchPoints. Eugenio Suarez is not returning to the Seattle Mariners as just a familiar face who left fans with some positive memories. He is the big midseason acquisition handpicked to finally launch the franchise into genuine title contention. Admittedly, that sounds like an exceptionally bold statement given the team's lack of playoffs success and the third baseman's streaky nature, but in a seemingly wide-open American League, one impactful addition can be the difference between another inactive October and an unforgettable postseason showing. Seattle did not see Suarez as that type of game-changer in November of 2023, trading him to the Arizona Diamondbacks for right-handed relief pitcher Carlos Vargas and catcher Seby Zavala. The Venezuelan slugger is not the same player he was in his second season with Seattle, bearing a closer resemblance to the man who posted a .930 OPS with the Cincinnati Reds in 2019. His love for the Emerald City has not changed, though. Actually, it appears stronger than ever. 'The emotion was high,' Suarez told reporters, via Adam Jude of The Seattle Times, after the M's acquired him back from the D-backs late Wednesday night. 'Security people are happy to see me, and the fans, when I walk around, they cheer for me and call my name. It feels great. 'It's something that is very special for me because they {didn't forget me}… This city really deserves a championship. That's my goal. I came here not to be a superhero or anything like that. My goal is to win, keep doing my best and give the championship to the Seattle Mariners.' Eugenio Suarez is back for some unfinished business with Mariners Those are the impassioned responses fan bases yearn to hear. They want to know that the millionaire athletes care as much as they do. Eugenio Suarez is leaving no doubt about the love he has for the franchise and city. The two-time All-Star posted a .234 batting average with 53 home runs, 183 RBIs and a .751 OPS in two seasons with the Mariners. He is performing at a whole other level in 2025. Despite batting a modest .248 and enduring a recent slump, Suarez has been one of the top offensive contributors in baseball. He belted 36 homers, which are the most by any player traded during the season, while also posting a .576 slugging percentage and .897 OPS with the Diamondbacks this year. His 87 RBIs are tied for the MLB lead with AL MVP candidate and new/old teammate Cal Raleigh. The Mariners believe that superb production will carry over into T-Mobile Park. Is Seattle positioned for a monumental run? When surveying a stacked lineup card that now features Raleigh, Suarez, Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena, along with a talented starting rotation, Suarez's World Series ambitions do not sound that crazy. Quite the contrary. This club is arguably as balanced as it has been during Jerry Dipoto's decade-long tenure with the M's. Perhaps more importantly, though, there is love in the air. The Suarez-Seattle romance is back on at full force. Dipoto paid a decent price for it, sending first baseman Tyler Locklear and pitchers Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos to Arizona in exchange for the veteran right-handed hitter. But an organization cannot reverse its fortune without taking action. Suarez and the Mariners have the opportunity to make history together. Though, before the team can focus on getting to its first-ever World Series, it must clinch a playoff berth. Seattle ( 57-52) is deadlocked with the Texas Rangers for the third and final AL Wild Card slot. The divisional foes are squaring off Thursday night in T-Mobile Park, in what is Suarez's grand return.

Yankees part ways with key infielder in Angels trade
The post Yankees part ways with key infielder in Angels trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Yankees have been busy at the trade deadline as the team gears up for a second-half push and another playoff run. While the Yankees were expected to prioritize pitching at the deadline, the team has also added several infielders. And, in a last-minute deal on Thursday, New York parted ways with a former top prospect. The Yankees have traded Oswald Peraza to the Los Angeles Angels, per YES Network's Jack Curry. New York received 18-year-old outfielder Wilberson De Pena and cash considerations in return for the versatile infielder, according to the New York Post's Joel Sherman. Peraza had been a big part of the Yankees' plans in 2025. He got lots of playing time in the first half as DJ LeMahieu struggled through injuries and inefficiency prior to his release and Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a season-ending ankle fracture. Yankees reshape infield at deadline, ship Oswald Peraza to Angels Once upon a time Peraza was a top prospect in New York's farm system. He debuted in 2022 and bounced back and forth between the majors and the minors over the next two seasons. But in 2025 Peraza got his first shot at an everyday role with the Yankees. While he was fine defensively, the 25-year-old infielder failed to contribute at the plate. Peraza slashed .152/.212/.241 with an abysmal 26 OPS+ in 71 games for New York this season. His lack of offensive production played a role in the Yankees' decision to pursue a third baseman at the deadline. New York acquired Ryan McMahon as an offensive upgrade at the hot corner. The Yankees also added infielder Amed Rosario in a trade with the Washington Nationals last week. On Thursday, the team landed another infielder, bringing in Jose Caballero through a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. Like Rosario, Caballero offers New York versatility with his ability to field a number of positions. But the former Rays player also adds elite speed on the base paths for the Yankees. Caballero leads the majors with 34 stolen bases this season and he finished with an AL-high 44 steals in 2024. The Yankees have struggled defensively of late. Anthony Volpe has had a particularly difficult time in the field. The shortstop committed his MLB-leading 16th error of the season Wednesday. New York will stick with the former Gold Glove winner for now but the team has moved on from Peraza amid a sudden influx of infielders joining the club.

Eugenio Suarez trade grades for Mariners, Diamondbacks
The post Eugenio Suarez trade grades for Mariners, Diamondbacks appeared first on ClutchPoints. Guess who's back for the Seattle Mariners. The American League West club is reuniting with third baseman Eugenio Suarez following a big trade late Wednesday. Suarez comes back to the M's from the Arizona Diamondbacks, who get first baseman Tyler Locklear and a couple of pitching prospects in Juan Burgos and Hunter Cranton. Eugenio Suarez trade grade The Mariners reunite with star slugger The Mariners can consider themselves lucky for having the chance and being able to execute a plan to atone for what many believe was a mistake they made in 2023, when they traded Eugenio Suarez to the Diamondbacks in exchange for Carlos Vargas and Seby Zavala. Since that trade, Suarez has sent 66 balls into orbit while with the Diamondbacks. Now, the Mariners get the opportunity to enjoy that kind of power from Suarez's bat again. Seattle is also getting someone who's hitting .248/.320/.576 with 36 home runs and 87 RBIs, so far in the 2025 MLB regular season. With Suarez, the Mariners can expect an elevated offense. Seattle is only 20th in the big leagues in terms of third baseman wRC+ (79) and 25th in third baseman wOBA (.274), per FanGraphs, but with Suarez taking over that spot, the Mariners have the terrifying bragging rights of having an infield that features two of the top six home run hitters in the majors today. Cal Raleigh leads the big leagues with 41 taters. It should be an easy decision for the Mariners to send Ben Williamson, who only has a home run and sports a .604 OPS this season, somewhere else to make way for Suarez. The downside here is on the defensive aspect, as Williamson is among the top players in the big leagues in defensive runs saved (8), while Suarez owns a -4 DRS. Although the Mariners surrendered some young assets to get the services of Suarez again, they didn't have to part ways with a high-caliber prospect. Locklear, Burgos and Cranton are names that aren't on the MLB's top 100 prospect rankings in 2025. Locklear is ranked just ninth among Mariners prospects, while Cranton and Burgos are only 16th and 17th, respectively. Sure, Suarez looks like a rental at the moment, as his current contract is set to expire after the season, but the familiarity between the two sides could pave the way for another contract. At the very least, the Mariners didn't lose much to get a powerful bat. Grade: A Diamondbacks load up the farm The Diamondbacks have decided to be sellers at the trade deadline, as they continue to flounder. They are 12 games out of first place in the National League West standings through Wednesday with a 51-58 record — just fourth in the division — after getting swept by the Detroit Tigers. There is a lot of unknown about the value of what the Diamondbacks got from Seattle in the Eugenio Suarez trade. Locklear, 24, hasn't played 20 games in the big leagues at the time of the trade, while Burgos has only appeared in four MLB games. Cranton has zero experience in the big leagues. What's certain, however, is that Arizona added youth to its cupboard of assets. The 25-year-old Burgos made his debut in the big leagues in 2025. In four appearances with the Mariners, he recorded a 4.05 ERA to go along with eight strikeouts and two walks in 6 2/3 innings. Cranton, meanwhile, is 24, and posted a 1.13 ERA with 11 strikeouts through 11 frames on the mound this year for High-A Everett.
