The New York Yankees have a big contract decision looming with a certain player, but not who you think.

The New York Yankees will have plenty of difficult decisions to make in terms of their own players this offseason, whether that's Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham or Luke Weaver. But there is another player no one seems to be discussing: Jazz Chisholm.

Chisholm has just one year left on his contract, and based on how well he has played since arriving in a trade deadline deal last year, the idea of an extension is at least worth discussing.

The 27-year-old is slashing .241/.332/.477 with 29 home runs and 75 RBI over 498 plate appearances this season while also playing some stout defense at second base. Additionally, Chisholm has stolen 30 bases and has only been caught six times.

The Yankees gave up quite a bit to pry Chisholm away from the Miami Marlins last summer, sending catcher Agustin Ramirez and a couple of other intriguing prospects to South Beach in exchange for him, so they should be motivated to at least try to retain him long term.

Chisholm definitely has his warts. He isn't the greatest contact hitter in the world, his playoff resume is very bleak thus far and he is a bit of a hothead. But he is an All-Star and one of the best second basemen in baseball, so he could command a pretty hefty deal from New York.

And really, how many middle infielders are you going to find that can crack 30 homers? Not many, and for all of Chisholm's drawbacks, he brings a lot of positive attributes to the table.

Of course, the question is, how much would the Yanks be willing to pay Chisholm in a long-term deal? Remember: these aren't your dad's Yankees. They are much more cognizant of their spending now than they were during George Steinbrenner's reign, so re-signing Chisholm is no guarantee.

It should be noted that Chisholm seems to love it in the Bronx, so perhaps he would be open to accepting a hometown discount. Then again, many felt the same about Juan Soto, so it's entirely possible that Chisholm just takes the money.

To be clear, Chisholm isn't Aaron Judge. He isn't Gerrit Cole. And based on ability to produce when it really counts, he isn't Giancarlo Stanton, either. For that reason, the Yankees need to be careful when it comes to negotiations.

But there is no reason why New York shouldn't at least discuss the possibility of extending Chisholm in the coming months.
