Palladino: Yankees Tarnished Storied Reputation With Chapman Trade

» More Ernie Palladino Columns

Now the Yankees get their hands dirty and throw mud on all those World Series trophies.

They send peanuts to Cincinnati for a troubled, 27-year-old closer named Aroldis Chapman and hope everybody understands that Brian Cashman did what he did for the good of the team.

Just like Jerry Jones signed Greg Hardy for the good of the Cowboys.

The only difference here is that Chapman hasn’t yet been charged for the alleged Oct. 30 choking of his girlfriend and the squeezing off of eight gunshots in his garage afterward.
