Overview

• On June 8, during the Yankees–Red Sox showdown, Chisholm was wearing a microphone for a live field interview with ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball in the third inning.
• While mid-interview, he fielded Ceddanne Rafaela’s grounder but his spin throw sailed past first base, resulting in an error charged to Chisholm.
• He stayed composed after the misplay, muttering “it’s alright,” and New York escaped the inning without yielding any runs.
• Social media and analysts have questioned whether in-game mic’d-up interviews distract players and put live broadcasts at risk of on-field mistakes.
• ESPN and MLB mutually agreed to end their more than 30-year Sunday Night Baseball contract, and the league is now in discussions with Apple TV+ and NBCUniversal for future rights.
