According to a recent source, young Miami Marlins star Jazz Chisholm Jr. will most likely be traded before this month’s trade deadline, and the one-time All-Star will undoubtedly have many admirers.
Despite a stunning 84-win season and a playoff appearance last year, the Marlins have reverted to their traditional status as a bottom-feeder in the National League East for 2024. Miami has one of the worst records in baseball and is expected to sell before the July 30 trade deadline.
Several of their players are likely to become available in the coming weeks, and closer Tanner Scott might be the center of a 12-team sweepstakes. However, there have been recent rumors that brilliant shortstop Jazz Chisholm Jr. could be available, and a fresh report appears to confirm that this is now quite likely.
On Monday, Miami Herald Marlins reporter Craig Mish stated that “there is a growing belief Chisholm will be traded” ahead of this year’s deadline. If the stud shortstop is traded before July 30, the player, who is still under team control for two more seasons, will undoubtedly be pursued by numerous teams.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at four teams who could be strong competitors for the Jazz Chisholm Jr. sweepstakes.
