It’s hard to say what happens with Aroldis Chapman. Does he opt out and leave way for Zack Britton to become the Yankees closer? Not too long ago on Instagram he posted he wasn’t going anywhere.
Chapman said the reports at the time were essentially lies. Maybe this is true and he does come back, but let’s not forget we’re the same sports town where the New York Giants proclaimed that they didn’t pay Odell Beckham Jr. to trade him. In the end he got traded, so you can’t blame anybody for having reservations about any statements put out by our teams.
