ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that the New York Yankees<\/a>have listened to trade offers<\/a> for All-Star second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/p>\n

Chisholm, a free agent at the end of 2026, does not seem likely to sign an extension with the Yankees before or during the season. He joined the 30-30 club last season, becoming the third player (Bobby Bonds, Alfonso Soriano) in franchise history to accomplish the feat.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he could be a valuable trade piece that gets the Yankees a considerable return.<\/p>\n

Though he knows it’s “less realistic,” FanSided’s Christopher Kline<\/a> thinks New York could swap Chisholm for Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> second baseman Ketel Marte. He adds that a few of New York’s pitching prospects, like Elmer Rodriguez and Ben Hess, would “probably” pique the D-Backs’ interest too.<\/p>\n

“The Diamondbacks might be willing to roll the dice on Chisholm, even as a potential rental. This isn’t Arizona attempting to shed salary, at least on the surface,” wrote Kline. “It’s a fundamental issue with Marte as a teammate. Jazz isn’t necessarily lauded for his leadership qualities, but he plays hard and puts up numbers. The D’Backs clearly want to contend next season.”<\/p>\n

The Yankees may prefer to keep prospects<\/p>\n

Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, and Clarke Schmidt will all start next season on the injured list, sending a test to the Yankees’ rotation immediately.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez could have a Major League opportunity in 2026, especially if additional pitchers suffer injuries during spring training. The Yankees may prefer to hold on to someone like Rodriguez if he has a breakout season like Cam Schlittler’s.<\/p>\n

Trading for Marte, a perennial MVP candidate, would give the Yankees’ lineup a much-needed boost. But it’s up to general manager Brian Cashman and the rest of the front office if they see a future for Chisholm in New York.<\/p>\n
