New York Yankees Could Lose Jazz Chisholm Jr. In 2027 Free Agent Class
New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm qualifies for free agency at the end of this Wold Series. If the Yankees don't extend Chisholm, interest could be strong.
New York Yankees could potentially lose second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the 2027 free agent class. Chisholm Jr., 28 years old, is in his final year of a $10.2 million contract with the Yankees. Described as electric, exciting, and flamboyant, Chisholm Jr. had an All-Star season in 2025, earning an All-Star nod and a Silver Slugger Award.
However, his performance dipped in 2026, hitting .218 with 17 homers and 48 RBIs. Despite this decline, he has maintained his 31 stolen bases. The Yankees are considering extending his contract, offering the MLB qualifying offer, or allowing him to become a free agent. With Aaron Judge set to return in 2027, the Yankees may opt to bolster their offense, potentially trading Chisholm Jr.
