In recent years, many World Series winners have received significant contributions from players acquired at the trade deadline. This year is no exception, with players like Jack Flaherty<\/a>, Paul DeJong<\/a>, and Jorge Soler<\/a> making substantial impacts for their new teams. However, the most significant impact from a trade deadline acquisition<\/a> this year has come from outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/a> of the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is Resurrecting a Dead Offense<\/h2>\n

It’s no secret that the Yankees’ offense has been very mediocre outside of Juan Soto<\/a> and Aaron Judge<\/a>. Before the Yanks traded for Chisholm on July 27, their third-best hitter was Giancarlo Stanton<\/a>, who had an OPS of .794 with 18 homers before going on the injured list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enter Chisholm, who has provided a much-needed spark to New York’s offense. In 26 games as a Yankee, the 26-year-old is hitting .333 with nine home runs with an OPS of 1.008. That’s second on the Yankees behind Judge in that time frame. In addition to his newfound power, he’s also been a major threat on the base paths, something that the Yankees heavily lacked outside of Anthony Volpe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
