The New York Yankees are in settlement on a commerce to amass one-time All-Star heart fielder/second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins, CBS Sports activities’ Jim Bowden confirms. The Yankees will ship three prospects to the Marlins, in catcher Agustin Ramirez, infielder Jared Serna, and utility participant Abrahan Ramirez per ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez.
Chisholm, 26, has hit .249/.323/.407 (101 OPS+) with 13 residence runs and 22 stolen bases over the course of 101 video games. He is largely performed heart subject, although currently he has acquired burn at second base — his fundamental place as just lately as 2022. The Yankees determine to deploy him all over. Chisholm is below group management by the 2026 season.
CBS Sports activities just lately wrote this about Chisholm whereas rating him as one of many gamers likeliest to be dealt on the deadline:
The Marlins started their newest teardown earlier this summer season, spinning Luis Arraez to the Padres for a four-player bundle. There is no cause for brand new high government Peter Bendix to cease there, and Jesús Luzardo’s damage leaves Chisholm as Miami’s high commerce chip. He needs to be in excessive demand primarily based on a easy summation of his profile: he is a 26-year-old with center-field athleticism and an above-average profession OPS+. Chisholm is below group management for a further two seasons after this one as well, making him greater than a rental. As with Robert, the opposite high heart fielder obtainable, Chisholm has had his share of sturdiness issues; we simply do not assume that is going to stop a commerce.
The Yankees entered Saturday with a 60-45 document that locations them two video games again of the Baltimore Orioles within the American League East. The Yankees have misplaced three in a row and 5 of their final six, with Friday’s defeat in opposition to the Boston Pink Sox coming courtesy of a bullpen meltdown.
Ramirez, 22, has break up the season between Double- and Triple-A, hitting .269/.358/.505 with 20 residence runs. Ramirez is taken into account to be a bat-first backstop with good energy. He must work on his protection, nonetheless, and the Yankees have cross-trained him at first base, suggesting they weren’t utterly offered he’d stick behind the dish.
Serna, 22, has hit .253/.341/.444 with 13 residence runs and 11 stolen bases in 88 video games at Excessive-A. He is an offense-first participant who has expertise at second and third base and shortstop, along with a while spent within the outfield.
