The New York Yankees are being projected to move on from infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and target a $24 million defensive standout who has earned both Gold Glove and Silver Slugger finalist honors, according to a recent report from The Sporting News.
The prediction suggests New York could seek an upgrade at second base or third base, with Chisholm's future in the Bronx uncertain after a season marked by inconsistent production. The unnamed replacement candidate is described as a two-way finalist for major awards, commanding a salary in the $24 million range.
Neither the Yankees front office nor Chisholm's representatives have commented on the speculation. The team's offseason plans remain fluid as they evaluate internal options and external free-agent and trade markets.
