Yankees considering signing Aroldis Chapman to extension, report says

Aroldis Chapman's 102 MPH fastballs have electrified Yankee Stadium more than any closer the team has had since Mariano Rivera. If things break right, triple-digit radar gun readings could become the norm in the Bronx.

Andrew Miller was great in 2015, David Robertson outstanding (if not nerve racking) before that and Rafael Soriano solid during a year Rivera was injured. So far, Chapman's stuff has bested them all.

While the idea of the Yankees holding on to Chapman seems more and more farfetched as the trade deadline approaches, the team is at least considering it if they remain in contention.
