NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.—The fallout from the Yankees’ agreement with free agent Aroldis Chapman on a five-year, $86 million contract will be even more interesting than the deal itself.
And the deal is pretty darned interesting, seeing as how it shattered the record for a closer by a mere $24 million.
The details, according to a source, include:
• An opt-out after three years;
• A full no-trade clause for the first three years and limited no-trade for the final two;
• A complete no-trade to teams on the west coast, according to Marly Rivera of ESPN.
