The New York Yankees could face major roster holes this offseason with regular starters Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Trent Grisham both entering free agency. According to projections from ESPN's Jorge Castillo, both players are likely to secure multiyear contracts elsewhere, leaving New York with significant production to replace across two positions.
