Jazz Chisholm Jr. is nearing the end of his contract with the New York Yankees, triggering speculation over his future as he enters free agency. After achieving a 30/30 season last year, Chisholm has struggled during the 2026 campaign, recording a.227 batting average with 18 home runs and 54 RBI through 128 games. The qualifying offer system allows the Yankees to offer the 28-year-old a one-year deal estimated at $23.1 million for next season. Accepting the offer would provide Chisholm a chance to rebuild his offensive statistics before hitting the market again at age 29. If he declines, the team would receive draft-pick compensation should he sign with another club. No final decision has been announced regarding the potential tender.
