New York Yankees Shaping Possible Deals For Aroldis Chapman (Report)
New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has been discussed in multiple rumors, but now it may have gotten a lot more aggressive.
According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the New York Yankees are going “bull bore in shaping deals” for flamethrowing closer Aroldis Chapman.
According to his report, the Washinton Nationals, Texas Rangers, and Cleveland Indians among others wish to get their hands on the lefty that hit 105.1 MPH in the Yankees 2-1 win on Monday Night.
Overall, Chapman owns a 2.22 ERA in 29 appearances for New York this season and has recorded 19 saves.
To coincide with this rumor, Chapman has interestingly stated that when he is slated to become a free agent following the 2016 season, he would “love to be back and be part of the team again.”
So, sure the three-headed monster may be broken up come this year’s deadline but they could also reunite for a second go around come 2017.
