New York Yankees

Jesus Montero -- an ex-Major League Baseball player with the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees -- has died ... according to tribute post from the Yankees.

The team shared a photo of Montero to X Sunday morning ... writing, "The Yankees are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jesús Montero. We send our sincerest condolences to his family & loved ones."

The Seattle Times -- citing Venezuelan outlets -- reported earlier this month that Montero was driving a motorcycle in his home country when he was hit by a pickup truck. He was rushed to a hospital in the city of Valencia. Newsweek reported he was intubated at the hospital.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's date night in the Bronx ended in heartbreak -- the couple watched the New York Yankees lose to their AL East rivals in the playoffs, ending the Yanks' season ... and the couple looked crushed!

The celeb couple was front and center for Game 4 of the Blue Jays and Yankees ALDS game, sitting not too far from where Bad Bunny sat the night before.

Chalamet -- a proud New York sports fan -- was super lit on the Yankees jumbotron during the ballgame, throwing up five fingers, saying "Yanks in 5" ... but it didn't age well.

Start spreading the news, the Toronto Blue Jays are on to the ALCS after defeating the New York Yankees Wednesday night in the Bronx ... and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and his teammates let it all out during their celebration, trolling their division rivals!

The team from up north popped the champagne bottles at Yankee Stadium not long after the 5-2 victory, and Guerrero Jr. was loving the fact that he sent Aaron Judge and the rest of the Yankees home for the winter.

Speaking with David Ortiz during the postgame show, Vlad let out Big Papi's iconic "Da Yankees lose" catchphrase multiple times ... much to the chagrin of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

Bad Bunny raised eyebrows at the New York Yankees game Tuesday night ... choosing not to stand during the singing of "God Bless America."

During the 7th inning stretch, the crowd mostly stood and sang during the rendition of "God Bless America." In a live photo obtained by TMZ, you hear the crowd singing "guide her" ... as in the verse "stand beside her and guide her," which is toward the beginning of the song.

The Grammy winner was snapped taking in the game alongside friends during the Bronx Bombers' 9-6 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Everyone's talkin' about Bad Bunny performing at next year's Super Bowl ... but the artist made a cameo at Tuesday night's New York Yankees game -- and got a little souvenir.

Bunny and his buddies took a trip to The Bronx for Game 3 of the American League Divisional Round matchup between the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays -- and the popular Puerto Rican singer snagged a foul ball!

Here's the wind-up ... Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander was at the plate during the third inning when he hit a ball thrown by Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon into the stands.

Joba Chamberlain thoroughly enjoyed what Cam Schlittler did both on and off the mound on Thursday night ... telling TMZ Sports he loved the way the Yankees pitcher trolled fans after mowing down the Red Sox lineup.

If you missed it, just after Schlittler twirled an eight-inning, 12-strikeout gem against Boston in a Wild Card series do-or-die victory, he took to X to talk some smack.

First, he jabbed at a stunning Boston supporter ... before he bragged about "drinking dat dirty water."

New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler was a menace to everyone in Boston red on Thursday night ... not only did he dominate the Sox in a Wild Card elimination game, he later trolled one of the team's most stunning fans.

The Yanks rookie hit the comment section of Red Sox fan Lucy Burdge's viral X post after mowing down the Red Sox in the do-or-die tilt at Yankee Stadium ... and he dropped a trolling line.

While Burdge wrote "Sox in 3" ahead of first pitch of the big game ... Schlittler responded, "Not this year."

New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm was not in the best of moods Tuesday night after being left out of the lineup in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series ... but the secret medicine to get out of that funk?? Beating the crap out of someone in "MLB: The Show!!!"

Chisholm shared his remedy following the Yanks' 4-3 win in Game 2 ... which sets up a winner-takes-all scenario for Thursday.

Jazz -- who crossed the plate as the go-ahead run in the 8th inning -- was asked how he got over the disappointment of Tuesday's loss ... and he said all it took was firing up the console.

Yankees star Jazz Chisholm wasn't hiding his frustrations after his name was left out of the starting nine for New York's AL Wild Card opener -- turning his back to reporters when he was asked about the move during his postgame media session.

Yanks manager Aaron Boone had fans scratching their heads after the 27-year-old wasn't slotted in at second base during their Game 1 loss to the Boston Red Sox ... with Amed Rosario getting the nod against lefty Garrett Crochet.

When asked if he was surprised by the decision ... Chisholm said, "I guess yeah," as he rummaged through his locker.

Officials have conducted a raid at the Costa Rican hotel where former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner's son, Miller, died ... as investigators look into whether the matter is a manslaughter case.

According to ESPN -- which spoke to prosecutor Kenneth Alvarez -- a three-hour search of the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort in Manuel Antonio took place on Thursday to collect more evidence -- both physical and digital.

14-year-old Miller died on March 21 after falling ill while vacationing with his family ... and an autopsy determined carbon monoxide was the cause.

Donald Trump just arrived at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, and despite being in town to commemorate the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, POTUS still found an opportunity to deliver a rousing pump-up speech to the players!

47, just a day after the horrific assassination of his friend Charlie Kirk, was in the Boogie Down after visiting the Pentagon earlier in the day ... exactly 24 years after the terror attack rocked America.

Before the Yanks took the field to battle the Tigers, Trump spoke from the clubhouse ... where he predicted big things this season, and even took some credit for the Bronx Bombers' dynasty in the late '90s and early 2000s.

The New York Yankees honored Charlie Kirk just before their game Wednesday ... remembering his life with a jumbotron message and a moment of silence.

The Yankee Stadium homage came just hours after Kirk was shot and killed while he was speaking with students and others on the Utah Valley University campus about political issues.

New York officials put up his picture on the team's centerfield scoreboard ... and added the words, "Remembering Charlie Kirk."

Any Yankees fans still shedding tears over Juan Soto's Pinstripes departure can go ahead and put a pause on the waterworks ... 'cause Cody Bellinger's dad tells TMZ Sports NYY actually got better by not keeping the star slugger.

In fact, Clay Bellinger said this week he doesn't think it's particularly close ... explaining the haul his former team was able to get with the $700-plus million they had earmarked for Soto was significant.

"You're getting three or four guys instead of one," Clay said. "It ended up being a no-brainer. For me, anyway."

An Aaron Judge fan learned the hard way it's not a good idea to storm the field during an MLB game ... as he got roughed up by security just after he finished his ill-advised outfield jaunt.

The scene played out late in the Yankees vs. Angels game at Angel Stadium in Anaheim on Wednesday night ... when a guy in a No. 99 New York uni hopped some fencing and took a stroll through center field.

The man -- who also donned a backward red cap -- bolted past stadium workers ... and at one point, nearly made contact with Cody Bellinger ... all as he filmed himself on his iPhone.

Five months ago, Nicholas Turturro was PISSED Juan Soto left the Yankees for the crosstown rival Mets ... but with Soto's early struggles and the Bronx Bombers' strong start -- he tells TMZ Sports he's feeling much better about the situation now.

We caught up with the "NYPD Blue" star and a die-hard Yankees fan after his team won the first round of the Subway Series against the Metropolitans -- in fact, he was present when Cody Bellinger hit a grand slam over Soto's dome to put the game out of reach ... and he loved witnessing the moment due to what it symbolized.

"It was kind of fitting that it landed right over his head," Turturro said. "It was like, 'Hey man, take that.' We're the Yankees, we're loyal fans, and we loved him. We gave him our heart, and we just felt a little bit shunned because you went down the street to little brother."
