Report: Yankees, Mariners among teams eyeing Marlins' Chisholm
The New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners are among the clubs considering trading for Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr., according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
"The New York fans would love him, he loves to interact with the crowd," a former member of the Marlins organization told Heyman. "Just your classic super-talented kid who needs a little structure as he can wander off at times."
The Marlins are reportedly open to trading Chisholm, who's under club control for an additional two campaigns beyond 2024. Miami owns the second-worst record in baseball after making the playoffs last season.
New York's current outfield includes Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo, and Trent Grisham. But Chisholm, 26, has also made 155 starts at second base during his five-year career.
Meanwhile, Seattle's outfield is comprised of Julio Rodríguez, Luke Raley, Mitch Haniger, and Victor Robles.
Chisholm has 12 homers, 42 RBIs, 18 stolen bases, and a .727 OPS over 93 games this season. He was a 2022 All-Star but has struggled to stay healthy, logging a combined 281 contests between 2021-23.
