Instant Reaction to Yankees Trading Aroldis Chapman

When the Yankees dealt for Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds back in December, with him came the baggage of domestic violence allegations. This was the main reason why the Yankees were able to acquire a closer of Chapman’s ilk for a package of minor leaguers that only yielded one top 10 prospect in Rookie Davis (now ranked as the NO. 9 prospect for the Reds, according to MLB.com).

Power hitting third baseman Eric Jagielo, (current NO. 13 prospect) continues to deal with an array of injuries, most seriously being a knee issue that may eventually force him across the diamond to first base.
