Jazz Chisholm Jr. is setting his sights high, and he's got the New York Yankees in his crosshairs. As he approaches the final year of his contract, Chisholm has made it clear he's aiming for a big payday-he's reportedly seeking a deal between 8-10 years at $35 million per season. That puts the total value between $280 million and $350 million.
Now, is Chisholm worth that kind of investment? It's a hefty price tag, and while some might argue it's a stretch, it's not unusual for players to aim high in negotiations.
Chisholm is a dynamic player with a blend of power and speed that can change the game. However, his inconsistency and injury history might give teams pause.
There's been chatter among analysts about the Yankees potentially trading Chisholm, especially if they find themselves out of playoff contention. Trading him could bring valuable returns rather than risking losing him for nothing in free agency.
Ultimately, the Yankees would love nothing more than for Chisholm to become a cornerstone of their lineup, leading them to World Series glory. If they can strike a deal that satisfies both parties, it could be a win-win. But for now, Chisholm's ambitious contract aspirations remain a topic of intrigue and speculation.
