As the trade deadline nears, Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is putting up big numbers, which is noteworthy because he's a trade target of the Seattle Mariners.
As the Seattle Mariners and their fans continue to count down to the Major League Baseball trade deadline, the name we keep hearing is Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Chisholm Jr., the second baseman/centerfielder with the Miami Marlins, has been mentioned by MLB Insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today multiple times as a fit for Seattle, with him even saying that MLB executives expect the deal to get done. Several Mariners fans feel underwhelmed by the idea of adding Chisholm Jr., who is a lifetime .250-ish hitter who isn't always available. However, when he is healthy, he is productive, which is something that the M's need.Now, the Mariners don't have a ton of lineup protection for Chisholm Jr. right now, but if he's able to do that in a light-hitting lineup like the Marlins, there is reason to hope he can do it in Seattle as well.
This year, he's hitting .251 with 13 homers and 19 stolen bases. If he's healthy, he's a 20/20 threat every season, which would be a welcome upgrade from what the M's have gotten at second base in the Adam Frazier/Kolten Wong/Jorge Polanco years.acquire Chisholm Jr., it remains to be seen what they'd do with the rest of the roster. They'd likely put him at second and slide Jorge Polanco to third while pushing Josh Rojas to the bench, at least occasionally.
After the game on Sunday, the Mariners made a shocking decision with former All-Star Ty France. Here's the latest, and what happens next.
