Jazz Chisholm Expected to Seek Prove-It Deal This Offseason

Jazz Chisholm, an infielder for the New York Yankees, is anticipated to seek a short-term contract this offseason, potentially with an opt-out after the first year. Reports indicate that he may have a market this winter, but his deal could resemble that of New York Mets shortstop Bo Bichette, who signed a three-year, $126 million contract last offseason.

Chisholm, who is also 28 years old, is having a difficult 2026 season, with a batting average of .226 and a .708 OPS, despite hitting 18 home runs and leading the American League with 36 stolen bases. His performance this season may impact the financial terms of his next contract.

As a two-time All-Star and a previous Silver Slugger Award winner, Chisholm has the potential for a strong comeback in 2027. However, it is reported that the Yankees are not expected to re-sign him as a free agent this winter.
