"The Yankees announced they've reached an agreement with infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. for the 2026 season. It's a one-year, $10.2MM deal, reports Jack Curry of the YES Network. Chisholm is a client of Roc Nation Sports. New York settled all eight of its remaining arbitration cases today. Chisholm was the only one to crack eight figures, though closer David Bednar ($9MM) wasn't far behind. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz nailed both numbers."
"Chisholm put together a massive 30/30 campaign in his first full season in pinstripes. He struck out at an above-average clip, but also pushed his walk rate to a career-best 10.9%. Chisholm's 126 wRC+ was his best mark since the 134 he posted in an abbreviated 2022 season, when a back injury limited him to 60 games. Health issues hindered Chisholm for much of his tenure in Miami."
Jazz Chisholm Jr. agreed to a one-year, $10.2MM contract with the Yankees for 2026. New York settled all eight remaining arbitration cases, with Chisholm the only player to exceed eight figures. The 27-year-old is in his final arbitration year and will reach free agency next offseason. Chisholm produced a 30/30 season, posted a 126 wRC+, and improved his walk rate to 10.9% despite an above-average strikeout rate. Health has been more stable in New York, with only brief absences and consecutive seasons of at least 130 games. He has primarily played second base since Ryan McMahon's arrival and is open to an extension, though the Yankees have shown limited interest.
