Padres Eye Jazz Chisholm Jr. in 2026 | San Diego Padres News

Padres eyeing Jazz Chisholm Jr. as a potential free agent target in 2026 — the 28-year-old Yankees infielder is elite: 40-steal threat, two-time All-Star, 19 homers this season, and a career .760 OPS. He’s a rare find who hits for power, steals bases, and plays solid defense — exactly what the Padres need if they move on from Jake Cronenworth. With 2.9 WAR in 2024 and 4.1 in 2025, Chisholm’s production is elite — already at 1.5 WAR this year in just 134 games. Teams like the Rangers are also in play. A Chisholm signing could be a massive offseason splash for new Padres ownership. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
