Per <\/span>MLB.com\u2019s Bryan Hoch<\/span><\/a>, the New York Yankees are entertaining a potential trade of star second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. Hoch\u2019s initial report came around mid-December, and since then, there have been no further rumors. That is, until now; Jon Heyman of the <\/span>New York Post<\/span><\/i><\/a> confirmed in an article published on Thursday that both \u201cthe Yankees and [Chicago] Cubs are fielding inquiries on their star 2B who are free agents after 2026 (Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Nico Hoerner).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A trade of this magnitude would be a major move for New York; not only should they receive a solid return if they were to trade Chisholm, but they\u2019d also find themselves with a huge gap to fill at second base. Interestingly, in the same report, Heyman also notes that the Yankees (along with the Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers) have recently checked in on All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette. Bichette, not known for his defensive prowess as a shortstop, could be a viable candidate to fill in for Chisholm<\/a> and switch over to second base if the Yankees do decide to pull the trigger on a trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Report: Yankees Floating Possible Trade of Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/h2>\n

No Extension Talks<\/h3>\n

Chisholm, who finished 2025 tied for first in home runs, third in RBI, and second in OPS among all major league second basemen, will hit free agency at the end of next season. There have been no indications that the Yankees have discussed a contract extension with the Bahamas native.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
