What happened: New York is expected to close the book on Jazz Chisholm's tenure at second base this offseason, per Joel Sherman. The front office is simultaneously weighing the up-and-down performance of shortstop Anthony Volpe and other internal options across the dirt.

Why it matters: Resolving the keystone is part of a broader roster evaluation following New York's postseason exit, alongside a review of manager Aaron Boone's future and nine 2027 arbitration decisions. Gold Glove finalist Jose Caballero and prospect George Lombard Jr. give the organization internal flexibility if it reshapes the middle infield.

What to watch: The Yankees will address their nine arbitration-eligible players and leadership structure ahead of winter roster moves.
