Yankees explore Brandon Lowe as potential replacement for Jazz Chisholm Jr

The New York Yankees are evaluating options for their infield as Jazz Chisholm Jr. approaches free agency this offseason. Mike Axisa of CBS Sports identified Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe as a potential target to fill a roster vacancy should Chisholm depart. Lowe has maintained consistent offensive production since 2018 and has demonstrated defensive improvement during the current season. This year, the left-handed hitter has recorded 29 home runs with a.258 batting average and 4.5 bWAR. While the Yankees also face roster challenges at shortstop and third base, the team views a high-power bat as a priority for the lineup. The front office will consider potential additions as the team manages the upcoming contractual status of its current middle infielders.
