Aroldis Chapman, the Boston Red Sox closer, stated that if the Yankees wish to trade for him, general manager Brian Cashman should first apologize for past grievances, specifically regarding insubordination accusations after he missed a practice. Chapman, who had two stints with the Yankees, excelled for the Red Sox with a 1.00 ERA and 45 saves over the last two seasons. With the Red Sox struggling in the AL East, he could be a valuable trade asset before the August 3 deadline. Chapman emphasized that any potential move to New York would require discussions with the team’s management.
