Chapman sees echoes of Cubs' rise in NY

TAMPA, Fla. -- Aroldis Chapman was considered the final piece to the puzzle when he joined the Cubs in midseason, helping that franchise celebrate their first World Series title in 108 years. The Yankees' drought hasn't been nearly that long, but the flame-throwing lefty believes he isn't done winning yet.

Chapman stopped by George M. Steinbrenner Field on Saturday afternoon to set up his locker, his first visit to the complex since agreeing to a five-year, $86 million contract -- the richest deal ever signed by a reliever. After making 31 appearances in pinstripes before being traded last July, Chapman said that it's easy to see how bright the Yankees' future is.
