Yankees Rumors: Aroldis Chapman Agrees to New Contract to Stay with NYY

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman hinted on social media in the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning that he would be returning to the Bronx in 2020.

"New York, I told you I wasn't going anywhere! #goyankees," Chapman wrote on Instagram.

Chapman previously had a pair of $15 million player options for each of the next two seasons. Jeff Passan of ESPN reported the 31-year-old will now be under contract through 2022, as the two sides agreed on a one-year, $18 million extension.

He previously signed a five-year, $86 million deal with New York as a free agent in December 2016.
