The New York Yankees are shopping around second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. After a strong season in New York in 2025, the dynamic infielder could be donning a different uniform in 2026.
Chisholm was traded to the Yankees at the 2024 trade deadline and has been a revelation for the team. In a season and a half in the Bronx, Chisholm is hitting.251 with 42 home runs and 103 RBIs in 176 games. In 2025, he hit.242 with 31 home runs and 80 RBIs, and was named to his second-career All-Star game.
Now potentially on the trade market, GM Brian Cashman was asked by Bryan Hoch of MLB.com about the possibility of Chisholm being dealt.
“He’s somebody who I think is currently part of the solution, someone that's made us better by getting him two deadlines ago and giving us athleticism. He's above-average. He’s an All-Star second baseman, great defense, steals bags, power — all that stuff. He’s been a good get. We will be open-minded. But again, my default is these are all individually good players. We acquired them for a reason,” Cashman said.
Chisholm has one year remaining on his contract before free agency, and it seems that the Yankees may be trying to squeeze any value out of him rather than risk losing him for nothing.
The Yankees will now see what they can get for Chisholm if they opt to trade him elsewhere. Otherwise, he’ll be an important piece to a Yankees team that is looking to get back to the World Series in 2026.
