Jazz Chisholm Jr. claims teammates call him best player, Yankees insider disputes

Jazz Chisholm Jr. sparked controversy after stating that Yankees teammates, including Aaron Judge, dubbed him the "best player in the world." This comment followed his go-ahead home run in the Yankees' recent victory over the Dodgers. However, Yankees insider Dan Clark disputed Chisholm's claim, mentioning that he had not heard anyone in the clubhouse refer to Chisholm in such a manner. As Chisholm enters free agency this offseason, his performance this season has been inconsistent, hitting only.225, despite being third in American League second basemen home runs. The Yankees are also weighing whether to trade him as they appear poised for a postseason run.
