Chisholm Avoids Arbitration, Signs $10.2M Deal with Yankees

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm has agreed to a one-year, $10.2 million contract, successfully avoiding arbitration. The deal, reported by Jack Curry of YES Network, grants Chisholm approximately a $4.5 million raise from his 2025 salary. This agreement marks his final year of arbitration eligibility. Reports indicate that a long-term contract with the Yankees is not imminent, suggesting Chisholm could be headed for free agency following the 2026 season. Last season, he posted impressive numbers with 31 home runs and 31 stolen bases across 531 plate appearances.
