Please show me the acknowledgment that a mistake has been made. You're speaking with someone, but please show me an official acknowledgment. Again, I'm going with the rulebook, history, and precedent. Could I be wrong? I suppose, but that would mean either this is a rule change they didn't bother to tell us about OR they were wrong in 2021 with the Mets and in 2023 with the Yankees (I posted the Mets video from 2021 earlier). This is an original video from Close Call Sports from 2018, talking about the ball being foul if, when the ball first touches the ground, it's doing the hovering deal, but the physical touch is on foul ground. This is what people (I think) are getting confused about. youtube.com/watch?v=Qj9mKQ… Now, here is the video from the Yankees game in 2023, in which, since the ball has TOUCHED fair territory already, it now can completely TOUCH foul territory, but as long as a part of the ball hovers over the line, it's fair. Is it more complicated in how it is written? Yes, it's like four lawyers got together and wrote it. BUT, there is more than enough prior evidence that, assuming the umpire saw a part of the ball hovering over the line, this was correctly called a fair ball. Think about it ... if the ball is IN THE AIR, so like it's rolling and bouncing a little, and it's hovering over the line, it's a fair ball.

The deal is for one-year, $3 million with a chance to earn $8 million, source says, as @JonHeyman reported.
