Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Makes Announcement on Tuesday

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not having the season he was hoping for. After last year's excellent campaign where he managed to stay healthy and produce, earning an All-Star selection and Silver Slugger award, he has not been the same player this year.

Across 86 games, the 28-year-old has posted a .223 batting average, .307 on-base percentage, .700 OPS, 12 home runs and 33 RBIs.

He has managed to swipe 26 bases, but he is expected to produce in the middle of the order and has instead continued to slide in manager Aaron Boone's lineup.

The timing is not ideal either, with Chisholm entering unrestricted free agency after the season. A year like this will likely force him to settle for less on the open market, whether it is with the Yankees or elsewhere.

Chisholm remains one of the faces of the franchise and one of the most talked-about players in the Bronx.

His outspoken personality tends to keep his name in plenty of headlines, and that same recognizability has paved the way for him to land a number of brand partnerships, including deals with Planes, a clothing brand that fits given Chisholm's well-known passion for fashion, and Final Boss Sour, a candy company.

His latest move was announced on Tuesday in a collaborated post with Once Upon A Coconut.

"Performance starts with what you put in your body. Proud to partner with @_jazz3 and fuel every workout, recovery, and game with our coconut water. ⚾️ All Natural. Electrolytes packed. No artificial sugar. Just hydration that keeps up. ," the caption read.
