When the trade deadline rolls around each year, one of the hottest commodities are relief pitchers. Rumors have already been swirling for well over a month about the Yankees’ lefty pair of relievers, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman. It’s understandable why teams are scouting both and have contacted the Yankees about both. Though Chapman is the full-time closer, Miller was the closer last year and held the role this season until Chapman returned from a 30-game suspension.
Both possess nasty pitches, and Chapman regularly dials up three numbers on the radar gun.
