5 Landings Spots for Marlins’ Jazz Chisholm at MLB Trade Deadline

Phillies Eye Jazz Chisholm for Center Field

While the Philadelphia Phillies ideally seek a right-handed center fielder like Luis Robert Jr., Chisholm could be a solid alternative. His improved performance against left-handed pitching this season (.277 average, .734 OPS) contrasts with his career averages, making him a viable option. Chisholm’s addition would bolster an already left-heavy lineup, including Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Bryson Stott, and Brandon Marsh, especially against right-handed pitchers.

Mariners Need Jazz Chisholm to Bolster Offense

The Seattle Mariners boast a World Series-caliber pitching staff but struggle offensively, sitting in the bottom five for runs scored. With Julio Rodríguez set in center field, the underperformance of second baseman Jorge Polanco and right fielder Mitch Haniger highlights the need for Chisholm. Adding him at second base, alongside new corner outfield/DH options, would significantly enhance Seattle's lineup, especially if Rodríguez, J.P. Crawford, and Cal Raleigh heat up.

Cardinals Could Benefit from Jazz Chisholm's Versatility

The St. Louis Cardinals, struggling with second base and center field production, might find Chisholm a valuable asset. While Nolan Gorman, a 24-year-old second baseman, has shown power with 17 homers, his .705 OPS suggests room for improvement. Chisholm could take over center field duties, currently held by Michael Siani with his sub-.600 OPS. Additionally, Dylan Carlson could be a change-of-scenery candidate to facilitate the trade.

Chisholm’s flexibility makes him a valuable consideration for the Yankees, addressing immediate and future needs in the lineup.
