Quick Summary

The Yankees are anticipated to extend a $23.15 million qualifying offer to free-agent closer David Bednar due to his strong performance this year. Meanwhile, they are unlikely to make the same offer to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., despite his impressive 2025 season, because of his recent poor play and the team's desire for change following their playoff exit.

Story summary

As of 2026-10-15, the New York Yankees are expected to extend a $23.15 million qualifying offer to free-agent closer David Bednar for his strong performance in the season. However, they are unlikely to do the same for second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., despite his impressive 30-homerun and 30-stolen base 2025 season. This decision is seen as a significant shift given Chisholm's desire to remain with the team after their sudden playoff exit. Other players expected to receive similar offers include Randy Arozarena from the Seattle Mariners, Seiya Suzuki from the Chicago Cubs, Brandon Lowe from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Trevor Rogers from the Texas Rangers.
