Let’s do some free agent polls!
These polls are less fun when the Ray Davis is acting like he’s broke, but hey, let’s do some anyway.
We are starting with Jazz Chisholm, Jr. Chris Young wants the Rangers to get younger and more athletic? In the free agent market, Chisholm is one of the best bets there. He’s a year removed from a 30/30 season, and had a career high 41 stolen bases in 50 attempts in 2026 despite an overall down offensive season. He’s played second base since being traded to the Yankees
by the Marlins, also has graded out well there via OAA, but also has experience in center field. The Rangers could look at putting him back in center field, or could put him at second base with Ezequiel Duran playing center.
The Yankees did not make a qualifying offer to Chisholm, which is somewhat surprising, and perhaps indicative of a desire by the team to move on.
This is a weird free agent market, and the projections are all over the map with many players, Chisholm included. On the high end, Baseball America has Chisholm at 3 years/$110 million or 7 years/$185 million. Over at Fangraphs, both Ben Clemens and the median crowdsource has Chisholm at 4 years, $92 million. Kiley McDaniel, meanwhile, has Chisholm at 2 years, $46 million with an opt-out. MLB Trade Rumors has Chisholm at 2 years, $40 million with an opt-out.
I’m going to go with McDaniel’s projection for the purposes in this poll, in part because I think the higher end offers are unlikely to materialize, and in part because if they do materialize, I don’t see the Rangers paying him in the neighborhood of $100 million or more.
So we ask you…would you want the Rangers to sign Jazz Chisholm, Jr. to a two year, $46 million deal with an opt-out?
