As crazy as it might have sounded a year ago, the New York Yankees are running into a bit of an issue with infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. The left-handed hitting infielder is set to hit the free agent market during the offseason, and some believe that there's a very good chance that he won't return to the Bronx.

Nothing is set in stone just yet, as he is definitely a good player who just happens to be struggling at the moment, but there seems to be a real belief that not only could he be off the team after the season, but that the Yankees could even potentially replace him with an infielder at the deadline.

“The Yankees look about as complete as any team I’ve seen outside Los Angeles in several years. I think they will need relief help. And I think they might need to consider another infield bat if Jazz Chisholm Jr. continues to struggle.

"While Ryan McMahon looks like the best offensive version of himself lately, his career numbers suggest that might not continue. If it does, great. If it doesn’t, the Yankees probably cannot absorb both their third and second baseman struggling offensively if they want to continue cruising through their regular season schedule,” Chelsea Janes of SNY .
