Texas Rangers projected to pursue Jazz Chisholm Jr. in upcoming free agency
Summary

The Texas Rangers are looking to bolster their infield ahead of the 2027 season as the team navigates a disappointing 2026 campaign. Bleacher Report analyst Joel Reuter projects that the club will target New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. during the upcoming offseason. Chisholm offers a combination of power and speed, having recorded 40 stolen bases and 19 home runs during the 2026 season. Despite this athletic profile, his inconsistency at the plate remains a factor, with his 2026 OPS trailing his 2025 performance. The Rangers must evaluate whether the 28-year-old infielder is a suitable long-term solution as they look to improve their lineup with left-handed hitting. Any potential acquisition would likely command a substantial contract in free agency.
