The San Diego Padres are reportedly interested in acquiring free agent Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the New York Yankees. Chisholm, who had 19 home runs and 42 stolen bases this past season, is seen as a capable addition to the Padres lineup, which struggled with left-handed power. Following their elimination from the NLDS by the Milwaukee Brewers, the Padres are looking to enhance their roster and potentially shift Jake Cronenworth to first base to create space for Chisholm. The decision hinges on whether the Padres are willing to meet Chisholm's expected high asking price.
