“Keep Jazz Chisholm Jr. Far Away” – Mets Fans Vehemently Oppose Any Potential Free Agency Deal With Yankees Infielder

Mets fans online have strongly opposed the idea of signing Jazz Chisholm Jr. in free agency, with many rejecting the possibility of the Yankees infielder joining their team following New York's disappointing ALDS exit.

The Yankees' 2026 postseason campaign ended on October 7 after they were swept 3-0 by the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series. New York lost Game 1 by a score of 1-0, followed by a 5-2 defeat in Game 2 and a 4-3 loss in Game 3. The elimination extended the franchise's World Series title drought.

Chisholm struggled during the series, going 0-for-8 as the Yankees were eliminated. Across the 2026 postseason, which included the AL Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox, he managed just a 2-for-11 clip at the plate. Shortly after their exit, speculation about whether the Mets should pursue him in free agency began circulating, prompting strong reactions from fans who opposed the idea. One fan on X wrote:

Chisholm also came under scrutiny for a costly throwing error during the first inning of Game 2 against the Rays. While attempting to complete a double play on a ground ball hit by Junior Caminero, the infielder made an off-balance throw that sailed wide of first base, allowing Tampa Bay to score its first run in the eventual 5-2 victory.

What did Jazz Chisholm Jr. say about his throwing error against the Rays?

Following the Game 2 loss, Jazz Chisholm Jr. was asked whether he would handle the play differently if given another chance. The Yankees infielder stood by his decision to attempt the throw, while acknowledging that he could have executed it better.

"Honestly, I'd probably still throw it. The play was trying to be made. I just feel like I could have probably tried to make an even better throw. Where I'd throw it, I'd just try and throw it a little more closer to the base. My back was turned," said Chisholm.

Jazz Chisholm also faced criticism after questioning Yankees fans for booing the team during the ALDS. His comments became another talking point following New York's postseason elimination.
