As commercial negotiations are progressing, Chisholm is unjustly represented publicly as a toxic presence of the clubhouse.
With the deadline for the MLB trade at only six days, the speech around Miami Marlins has the head Jazz Chisholm Jr. left the rails. Dozens of other potential trade candidates are examined for what they have done in the field, but Chisholm is treated differently. His reputation has been trained several times in the mud via anonymous sources that are frightened by someone to whom they have trouble.
It’s a shame because there is a fascinating Baseball conversation to have. Chisholm is in the middle of a solid season, reducing .251 / .325 / .412 (105 WRC +) with 13 circuits and 21 stolen bases, initially as a full -time central defender, but very recently, he began to separate the representatives to the second goal. On an FWAR basis per game, it is in fact its least productive year since it was recruited. Opinions vary on the quality of his defense. After making frequent trips on the injured list, Jazz played 97% of marlins’ matches in 2024. Will that persist? The numbers of the left -handed striker against pitching the same hand are significantly improved. If he gets closer to an ordinary regular or a star? At just 26 years old, a traditional aging curve would suggest that his best seasons are still ahead of him. How do you attribute someone to someone like this one?
All of this takes a back seat for wave “concerns” concerning the intangible assets of Chisholm.
Ken Rosenthal and others athletics reported Wednesday morning, “some clubs completely released on Chisholm because of his strong personality”. Apparently, the phillies of Philadelphia are one of them, while Bob Nighingale of USA TODAY distinguished them last Sunday as having “no interest“Despite the abyssal offensive outing They received in the central field. “Fears about his ability to stay healthy and brewing limited its market“According to Jeff Passan d’Espn.
When three of the most well -connected national initiates MLB share each information independently on this subject, there must be a certain truth. However, it is an indictment on these worried teams, not on Chisholm.
Does jazz agree with all its teammates? No, he doesn’t.
Chisholm was a first spring non-learning invitation with the 2019 Diamondbacks Arizona Diamondbacks. Steven Souza Jr. recalls how He and other d-back veterans have been pushed By the prospect of 21, when they tried to take it “under their wing” during the camp. More recently, Chisholm clashed with Miguel Rojas and other veterinarians from the Marlins who disapproved of his conduct. The tension accumulated to the point that Rojas came to the Manager Don Mattingly in 2022 to organize a team meeting. Anecdotal, he presents himself as stubborn and agricultural.
That being said, it is absurd that the MLB teams focused on the argument in 2024 to withdraw from the Chisholm competition because of its individualism. He does not do everything possible to contract his teammates. Apart from baseball, he has never been accused or found guilty of illegal activity. He has contributed significantly to the Marlins for the 2023 qualifiers and continues to exercise full effort this season for a team that has nothing to play. The Miami clubhouse was serene despite its disappointing results.
Chisholm is incredibly marketable, which led to a general recognition that its raw production on the ground would not deserve itself. Some major leaguers are not surprisingly jealous of himBut even these players could not be happy that their bosses rotate lower options on the commercial market due to personal dynamics.
I can’t help but ask myself if the national media are handled. It is complicated to place a price on Chisholm, the baseball player. Team leaders could really think that Marlins’ requests do not align with its performance planned in the future. Maybe talking about Chisholm is a tactic to open their fans on him and soften the blow for when he is finally exchanged elsewhere.
