DEAL IN FINAL STAGE: The New York Yankees Have Reportedly Agreed a Second Blockbuster Trade For Another All-Star After Acquiring…

Yankees Acquire All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr in Blockbuster Deal: Reports

According to numerous rumors on Saturday, the New York Yankees are acquiring All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins in their first significant move before the MLB Trade Deadline on Tuesday.

The Miami Herald’s Craig Mish broke the initial news on Saturday that the parties “were in deep talks.” The transaction was agreed upon, as first reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

For the rebuilding Marlins, 26-year-old Chisholm is hitting.249 in 101 games this season, with 13 home runs and 22 stolen bases. Although he was a second baseman when he was selected to the National League All-Star squad in 2022, he has more recently moved to center field on a full-time basis.
In center field, where Aaron Judge is a lock to win the American League MVP trophy and Trent Grisham provides solid backup defense, the Yankees won’t need Chisholm.

However, the Yankees could be moving Chisholm back to second base, where Gleyber Torres has been a disappointment at the plate all season. Torres, 27, entered Saturday’s game batting.237 with a.681 OPS.
According to multiple reports, 22-year-old catcher Agustin Ramirez is the headliner among the three prospects going to the Marlins in the trade. Recently promoted to Triple-A, Ramirez is the Yankees’ No. 20 prospect, according to MLB.com.

Ramirez was hitting.224/.328/.365 in 29 games with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre. Between Austin Wells, Ben Rice, and Jose Treviño, the Yankees have three young catchers under team control through at least next season.
