Yankees Urged to Explore Jazz Chisholm Jr. Extension as Talks Remain Quiet

No negotiations have begun, matching the club's tendency to let players reach free agency.

Overview

  • FanSided insider Robert Murray said on Nov. 20 that New York should at least explore a long-term deal with Jazz Chisholm Jr.
  • Brian Cashman told reporters at the GM meetings that there have been no extension discussions and that Chisholm is open to a value-based conversation.
  • Coverage notes the Yankees seldom finalize pre-free agency extensions, which aligns with the team's current posture on Chisholm.
  • Chisholm remains under team control through the 2026 season and would reach free agency in 2027 if no new deal is struck.
  • After a 2025 breakout campaign (.242/.332/.481, 31 HR, 31 SB, 4.2 WAR), Murray projects he is more likely to play out 2026 and test the market.
