The New York Yankees' infield defense was not great last year, and that trend has continued this year. One reason is Jazz Chisholm Jr. playing out of position.

Jazz Chisholm is better at second than third, while DJ LeMahieu has shown he has no range at this stage in his career. As a result, the Yankees have two negative defenders.

The Yankees are starting to make calls in search of a third baseman. It’s an unusual situation, where their current 3B, Jazz Chisholm, is arguably their second-best player. But they also know he belongs at second, where he’s Gold Glove-caliber.

The New York Yankees are "starting to make calls" as the team searches for a third baseman prior to the July 31 trade deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
