The Brief

  • Yankees have 10 free agents eligible for qualifying offers.
  • Chisholm may receive a qualifying offer, but under 10% chance.
  • Chisholm had strong 2025 campaign with .813 OPS and 31 homers.

The New York Yankees have 10 players who are currently free agents.

Between now and 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 2, the team can make qualifying offers to these players.

An MLB writer predicted that Jazz Chisholm Jr. is unlikely to receive a qualifying offer from the Yankees.

Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report noted that while multiple qualifying offers can be made in a single year, most experts believe the Yankees will not extend one to Chisholm.

The Yankees are expected to offer qualifying terms to David Bednar instead, as they have middle infielders returning.

Chisholm had a strong 2025 campaign, hitting .242/.332/.481 with a .813 OPS and 31 home runs in 130 games.

In the past season, he posted a .231/.312/.399 line with a .711 OPS and 19 home runs in 137 games.

He also recorded 16 doubles, three triples, and 55 RBIs during the past season.
