Brian Cashman spoke on YES Hot Stove regarding the Yankees, and one of the things he discussed was their intention with Jazz Chisholm defensively when they originally acquired him. The long-time GM mentioned that he had envisioned playing the dynamic infielder at second base, moving over Gleyber Torres to third base in the process. The strong arm and poor range of Torres may have played a lot better at the hot corner, but he outright refused to make the change, which could be a hint as to why the team eventually chose to let him go in free agency.
