The New York Yankees finalized a trade for Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. on Saturday, giving up three minor-leaguers for the former All-Star.
Triple-A catcher Agustin Ramirez heads the list of players headed to Miami. Also involved in the deal are infielder Jared Serna and utility man Abrahan Ramirez.
A 2022 All-Star, Chisholm has been a fixture in Miami’s lineup since he broke into the league with the Marlins in 2020.
The Bahamas product batted a career-best .254 during that All-Star season with an on-base percentage of .325.
This season, Chisholm is batting .249 with 13 homers in 430 plate appearances over 101 games. His 50 RBIs are approaching his career high (53), while his 22 stolen bases are similarly one off a career high.
Chisholm, 26, has a career batting average of .246 with 205 RBIs and 81 stolen bases.
After a hot start this season, New York has cooled off in recent weeks, falling behind the Baltimore Orioles into second place in the American League East at 60-45. The Marlins are tied with the Colorado Rockies for a National League-worst 38-66 mark.
Agustin Ramirez, 22, has 20 homers in 87 minor league games this season — 16 at Double-A Somerset and four at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Serna, 22, has racked up 58 RBIs and 13 home runs in 88 games for high Class-A Hudson Valley this season.
Abrahan Ramirez, 19, had a .348 average and 24 RBIs in 49 games for the Yankees’ affiliate in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.
