Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the New York Yankees have avoided arbitration as Chisholm will make $10.2 million in 2026.
Fantasy Impact
Chisholm, who won't turn 28 until next month, enjoyed his first 30-30 season last year in his first full season with the Yankees. Chisholm, who has been in some trade rumors this offseason, hit a career-high 31 home runs and stole 31 bases a season ago. He is a career .248 hitter with 108 home runs and 130 stolen bases in 579 major league games. If Chisholm is not traded, expect him to be the starting second baseman again in New York.
The New York Yankees are reportedly willing to make a trade involving second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Fantasy Impact
The Yankees are reportedly very interested in free-agent infielder Bo Bichette, who has seemingly told interested teams he is willing to move full-time to second base. Chisholm, who played second base for the Yankees in 2025, hit a career-high 31 home runs while adding another 31 stolen bases across 130 games in his first season in The Bronx in 2025.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that he has not yet discussed a contract extension with Jazz Chisholm or his representatives, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. Cashman added that he is open to having “a legitimate conversation about value.” Chisholm, who turns 28 in February and is under team control through 2026, has previously stated that he wants to remain with the Yankees long-term. He produced the fourth 30-30 season in franchise history in 2025, slashing .242/.332/.481 over 130 games.
Fantasy Impact
The lack of extension talks does not affect Chisholm’s current status, as he remains under contract through the 2026 season. He is expected to continue serving as the Yankees’ starting second baseman following his 30-30 performance in 2025.
