Overview

  • GM Brian Cashman said the Yankees have had no extension discussions with Jazz Chisholm Jr. but are open to a legitimate long-term conversation about value.
  • Chisholm is set for arbitration in 2026, with MLBTR projecting a $10.2 million salary, and he would reach free agency after that season.
  • The All-Star infielder has said he wants to remain in New York after a 2025 breakout with 31 home runs, 31 steals and an .813 OPS.
  • MLB Trade Rumors notes the Yankees rarely complete multi-year extensions and suggests they could let Chisholm play his final arbitration year before testing free agency.
  • Cashman pointed to internal infield depth with Anthony Volpe and José Caballero and said top prospect George Lombard Jr. is likelier for 2027, while Ben Rice is expected to be an everyday player, likely at first base.
