Yankees Acquire Aroldis Chapman For Four Minor Leaguers

The New York Yankees acquired flame throwing reliever Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds for four minor league players.

In exchange for Chapman, the Reds get third baseman Eric Jagielo, second baseman Tony Renda, and right handed pitchers Rookie Davis and Caleb Cotham.

The move gives the Yankees potentially one of the best bullpens in Major League Baseball history. Chapman would team with Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances to provide a seventh, eighth and ninth innings stone wall for opposition batters.
