The Yankees are making a long-term commitment to Jazz Chisholm at second base, a move that should significantly improve their defensive structure. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed on WFAN this week that Chisholm is penciled in at the position, allowing the Bombers to take full advantage of his range and athleticism.
Last season, Chisholm was forced to play third base due to Gleyber Torres’ presence at second. While he handled the transition reasonably well, it was clear he was being miscast.
Now, the Yankees are set to play him in his natural position, where he has logged 1,330.
