This article was originally published on www.si.com as Yankees Pursuing Trade That Could Impact Jazz Chisholm's Role. The New York Yankees are actively looking to improve their roster and appear to believe adding a third baseman is the way to go.

Chisholm, 27, may not be playing where he wants defensively, but he hasn't let it impact his performance at the plate. He enters Wednesday hitting .240/.338/.495 (131 OPS+) with 14 home runs and 10 stolen bases. His contributions have been worth an estimated 2.2 Wins Above Replacement, according to Baseball Reference's calculations.

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.
