The Yankees declined to extend a qualifying offer to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., making him a free agent, and did not renew two coaches. Aaron Judge reached 10 years of MLB service time, and Brad Ausmus is reportedly close to a job with Houston.
The Yankees did not extend a qualifying offer to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., making him a free agent. The one-year offer was valued at $23.15 million, and the Nov. 2 deadline passed without New York extending it.
After their postseason setback, the Yankees did not renew the contracts of bullpen coach Mike Harkey and first-base/infield coach Travis Chapman.
Aaron Judge has reached 10 years of Major League Baseball service time. He debuted Aug. 13, 2016, against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium at age 24. The MLBPA wrote that fewer than 10% of players in MLB history achieve 10 years of service time.
Separately, bench coach Brad Ausmus is reportedly close to landing a job with the Houston Astros.
