Yankees Risk Disaster by Trading Jazz Chisholm Jr. Amid Budget Fears

The New York Yankees are facing growing pressure to reshape their roster, but trading Jazz Chisholm Jr. could turn into a costly mistake. Despite posting a rare 30-homer, 30-steal season and playing a key role in the Yankees’ playoff run, Chisholm’s name continues to surface in trade rumors because he is entering his final year of team control and owner Hal Steinbrenner remains cautious with spending.

Former Yankee Clint Frazier has warned against moving such a dynamic player, noting Jazz Chisholm Jr’s elite production, energy, and versatility. While New York may see a trade as a way to avoid losing him for nothing, dealing him without a proven replacement could leave major holes—especially as the Mets aggressively spend across town. One possible swap target is Twins center fielder Byron Buxton, but with his injury history, the Yankees risk turning a bold move into a long-term embarrassment if the gamble fails.
