New York was floundering approaching the trade deadline and it seemed for a short time like the Yankees could be in real trouble. The Yankees arguably were the top team in baseball for the first few months of the season and then hit a wall about a month before the deadline.and bullpen and did just that. New York acquired Jazz Chisholm Jr. in a trade with the Miami Marlins and he has been everything the Yankees could've hoped for.
"Jazz Chisholm Jr with Yankees .300 BA | 7 HR | 11 RBI | 3 SB | 1.092 OPS," New York Yankees Stats posted. "He’s the second player in MLB history with at least 7 HR and 3 SB in his first 12 games with any team . His 1.092 OPS is the best by a Yankee through his first 12 games with the club since Roger Maris in 1960."
The fact that Chisholm has been able to join such impressive company just a few weeks after joining New York should be a positive sign for Yankees fans.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on basketball and baseball.
