Overview

  • Aaron Boone said he anticipates Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the 2026 roster and is planning him in the middle of the lineup.
  • Brian Cashman previously left the door open to dealing Chisholm, signaling the club will listen if offers meet a high bar.
  • Reporting and analysis indicate the Yankees are not actively shopping Chisholm, with the likeliest outcome keeping him in New York for Opening Day.
  • Chisholm is coming off a 30-homer, 30-steal All-Star season with an .813 OPS, a rare profile at second base that elevates both his value and market interest.
  • A media proposal floated by Bleacher Report envisions a Mariners package of Logan Evans, Victor Robles, and switch-pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje, though no negotiations are reported.
