Chisholm is primarily a second baseman this year, but his versatility and offensive output make him an appealing target for clubs wanting to improve their infield depth.
The trade talks come amid a bigger strategy shift for the Marlins, who appear to be entering a rebuilding phase. Earlier this season, they traded Luis Arráez to the San Diego Padres, indicating their desire to acquire young talent and prospects.
