With New York Yankees reliever, Aroldis Chapman, winning with AL reliever of the year award, he was asked an expected question. Are you going to opt-out of your contract with the Bombers?
Chapman dodged the question and continued with the interview process. This could indicate something, or absolutely nothing — I would bet on the latter.
