A dynamic second base trade target has emerged for the Mariners in New York

If the Mariners are serious about upgrading second base without potentially punting offense into the Puget Sound, there’s a new name worth circling in Jazz Chisholm Jr.

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, teams have been asking about Chisholm — and the Yankees have listened. Yankees beat writer Bryan Hoch added the key context: New York isn’t publicly “shopping” him, but Brian Cashman said the Yankees are staying “open-minded” as they look for ways to upgrade their pitching.

That’s basically front-office speak for: we like the player… but make it make sense for us.
