New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman told reporters today that he plans to appeal any suspension he may receive from Major League Baseball.
The Yankees acquired Chapman in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for minor-league players Caleb Cotham, Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda. They got him off the clearance rack as he had domestic violence allegations on his plate.
Chapman allegedly choked his girlfriend and fired eight gunshots in his garage after an argument with his girlfriend. Police did not to press charges.
