, reigning All-Star, and igniter for what they do best and need to aim for moving forward (power, athleticism). But, seeing as they won't extend Jazz Chisholm Jr., trade chatter has cropped up nonetheless - chatter the Yankees are particularly ill-prepared for.
There are precious few "sure things" in the Yankees' current lineup. Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham are no longer here; one might be back, but that's far from a certainty. Austin Wells is bordering on being an unknown. Anthony Volpe, reviled as he is, won't be starting the season healthy. Willingly sacrificing Chisholm's speed-power combo would open up another blurry door papered with question marks.
