In the aftermath of the Aroldis Chapman signing and the Yankees’ general frugality this offseason, Kei Igawa of all people popped into my head the other day. In a time and place that seems especially far away from the present day, the Yankees spent a total of $46 [...]
In a recent piece on MLB.com, Mark Sheldon has a recap of how the Aroldis Chapman sweepstakes went down, with some interesting notes on why the Yanks passed on the 21 year old Cuban fireballer. He writes:
Once Chapman was declared a free agent by Major League [...]
Via MLBTR, from Jeff Passan (Yahoo! Sports) we learn that Aroldis Chapman has signed a 5-year, $30 million deal with an NL Central club. Passan speculates that the Reds, who have never really been linked to Chapman outside of today, might be the team, as Chapman is actually on a flight [...]
Yesterday, ESPN’s Buster Olney tweeted that, along with the Mets, the Yankees were out of the Aroldis Chapman sweepstakes, with Olney citing a general front office concern as to whether or not Chapman was better suited to serve as a reliever or a starter (spending $20 million or more on an eventual bullpen [...]
Just came down about two hours ago on his Twitter account. The usually reliable ESPN reporter says that both the Yanks and Mets are both out on the Chapman sweepstakes. Here’s the original message in its entirety:
Sources: The Mets are not in on Aroldis Chapman – just as the Yankees are [...]
A variety of news in recent days regarding some potential and former Yanks, so I decided to put it all in one handy-dandy post for all you fine folks. Here goes:

Rosenthal claims that “the Yankees and [...]
As I mentioned on Sunday, Tuesday was a big day for Aroldis Chapman. He had a workout scheduled in front of an impressive list of many prospective suitors, and Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports that all went well. He writes:
For the dozens of baseball men wondering whether [...]
According to Jorge Arangure (ESPN), “it’s quite possible Aroldis Chapman might not get more than $20 million. Perhaps not even that much.” Arangure’s latest tweet is in congruence with what I said over the weekend, at iYankees, after Noel Arguelles only received $7M from the Royals over 5 years. The Yankees will easily [...]
. . and the questions go beyond his stuff. Melissa Segura of Sports Illustrated wrote a terrific piece recently delving deeply into his background. She does a terrific job of recounting his life story and analyzing how he might translate in MLB competition. She starts at his first botched attempt to [...]
