The Yankees just acquired star closer Aroldis Chapman. Does this trade make sense for the team?
After trading away Justin Wilson and Adam Warren this offseason, the Yankee bullpen was not looking good apart from star relievers Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller. The loss of Wilson and Warren, who were worth 3.7 WAR combined last year, seemed like it would be deeply felt in 2016.
Fear no more as the Yankees have acquired star closer Aroldis Chapman from the Reds in exchange for minor league pitchers Rookie Davis and Caleb Cotham and minor league infielders Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda.
