"It's unsurprising that clubs would call, as Chisholm is very good and coming off the best season of his career so far. He hit 31 home runs and stole 31 bases this year. His 27.9% strikeout rate was a bit high but nothing new for him, while his 10.9% walk rate was a personal best. His .242/.332/.481 batting line led to a 126 wRC+, indicating he was 26% better than league average at the plate."
"Defensively, he played a decent amount of second and third base in the first half. The Yanks eventually acquired Ryan McMahon and put him at the hot corner, which allowed Chisholm to settle in as the regular at second. Chisholm was credited with two Defensive Runs Saved and eight Outs Above Average at the keystone on the year. Put it all together and FanGraphs considered him to be worth 4.4 wins above replacement."
"Chisholm is under club control for one more season with MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projecting him for a salary of $10.2MM next year. That's less than half of this year's $22.025MM qualifying offer. All of those factors make Chisholm valuable for the Yankees in 2026 but he may not be in their long-term plans."
Jazz Chisholm Jr. generated interest from other clubs after posting a breakout season, hitting 31 home runs and stealing 31 bases. He produced a .242/.332/.481 batting line with a 126 wRC+, a 27.9% strikeout rate, and a career-best 10.9% walk rate. Defensively, he logged time at second and third, earning two Defensive Runs Saved and eight Outs Above Average at second base, and a 4.4 WAR total per FanGraphs. Chisholm remains under club control for one more season with a projected $10.2MM salary, making him cost-controlled and valuable for roster flexibility. The Yankees are open-minded to trade offers as they seek pitching upgrades.
