Yanks acquire All-Star closer Chapman from Reds
Print Edition
The New York Yankees bolstered their strong bullpen by landing controversial All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.
In exchange for the 27-year-old Chapman, the Yankees moved four minor-league prospects in pitchers Caleb Cotham and Rookie Davis, as well as infielders Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda.
Chapman, whose expected move to the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this month was quashed because of an alleged domestic violence incident, will join Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances at the back end of New York鈥檚 bullpen.
Yahoo! Sports reported that Chapman fired eight gunshots into the garage of his Miami-area home following an October argument with his girlfriend, who told police Chapman choked her and pushed her against a wall.
The story said Major League Baseball had begun a domestic violence investigation into the incident. No arrests were made, but more than a dozen officers responded to the October 30 call to police, according to police reports.
鈥淲e certainly don鈥檛 have the full extent of the MLB investigative arm but we鈥檝e done as much due diligence on the subject at hand as we possibly can and we have completed the transaction based on a lot of that due diligence,鈥 Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.
Cuba鈥檚 Chapman has a 2.17 career ERA and 146 saves in 164 chances with 546 strikeouts in 319 innings during his six seasons in Cincinnati.
Last season, he posted a 1.63 ERA with 33 saves in 36 chances and made the National League All-Star team for a fourth consecutive year.
Chapman made just over US$8 million in 2015 and is eligible for salary arbitration this offseason.
