The ongoing feud between Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the New York Yankees and Maikel Garcia of the Kansas City Royals intensified during their recent matchup, as Chisholm left the game due to a neck injury sustained from a hard tag by Garcia. Following the incident, Chisholm was seen on camera expressing his frustration and vowing retaliation if the aggressive tagging continued. Garcia's response was nonchalant, stating he was 'waiting for it' and dismissing Chisholm's comments as mere talk.

The animosity traces back to last season when Chisholm accused Garcia of dirty play against teammate Anthony Volpe during the playoffs, leading to heightened tensions between the players and their respective fanbases. Despite the discomfort from his injuries, Chisholm expressed a strange appreciation for the boos he received from the Kansas City crowd, indicating that he prefers the noise of an engaged audience over silence. As the Yankees continue their series in Kansas City, all eyes will be on whether the rivalry escalates further.
