I do occasionally wonder if the Chicago Cubs gave up too much for Aroldis Chapman. In the end, we did win the World Series in 2016, so how can you really complain? But as this season progressed, it seemed clear that the Cubs indeed gave up a winner in Gleyber Torres.
And on top of that? The Yankees signed Chapman–for way too much money–but I digress. Now for another year, the trade will be one in the Cubs favor, no less than a push, with the news that Torres has a torn UCL and will need Tommy John Surgery.
