Jazz Chisholm Jr. enters free agency after the Yankees decided not to extend him a $23.15 million qualifying offer. Chisholm, who stole 41 bases and hit 19 home runs this season, initially sought an $35 million per year deal for eight to ten years. ESPN's Kiley McDaniel projects a two-year, $46 million contract is more realistic following a season where Chisholm's performance showed inconsistencies, particularly in swing and control. The Yankees' apparent lack of enthusiasm may impact his market value.
