Yankees have acquired Aroldis Chapman from the Reds for RHPs Caleb Cotham and Rookie Davis and INFs Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda.
Coincidentally, those are the exact numbers Hughes2.50 projected for Joba as a starter.Factoid stolen from Jack Curry on Twitter:
"In 2015, Betances-Miller-Chapman combined for 212 IPs/347 Ks/14.7K per 9."
It depends on how long he is suspended for... And Honestly, Im happy the Sox didn't trade for him (or try to after the allegations came out). He seems like someone I would have an extremely hard time rooting for given his massive character issuesWow, did Chapman bone the Reds with his buffoonery. They went from looking for (and likely getting) something on par or better than what the Sox gave up for Kimbrel to having multiple teams walk away from them and having to settle for a middling prospect package just to be rid of him.
The back end of the Yankee pen is frightening.
So close. That's what he cubically transformed for JTHCoincidentally, those are the exact numbers Hughes2.50 projected for Joba as a starter.
With the Yankees' luck he'll be suspended 50 days. Suspend him 44 days or 150.Gave up nothing much and if Chapman is suspended for more than 45 days they have him for 2 years instead of 1.
clubhouse issues?it is amazing how many teams ran like hell from Chapman when you see that that is all Cincy could have gotten for him.
Can you explain this? Obviously A-Rod is DH-only and Beltran should be DH-only, but that just means they have a shitty defensive RFer. Hicks is a defensive upgrade on Chris Young, Bird is now proven as a 1B backup if Tex has to go on the DL, Castro replaces Drew and is just as flexible (2B, backup SS, emergency backup 3B), and Ackley can play 2B/1B and I guess both outfield corners, plus they still have one bench spot open for a 1B/3B type.He might as well keep them together until at least the deadline because that Yankee lineup is the least flexible thing I've ever seen.
It's likely that that is "all Cincy could have gotten for him" because a lot of teams ran like hell from him. Without the domestic violence thing hanging over him, Chapman is a Dodger right now (who knows, maybe a Red Sox), probably for a hell of a lot more than the Yankees gave up today.it is amazing how many teams ran like hell from Chapman when you see that that is all Cincy could have gotten for him.
With Tanaka/Severino/Sabathia/Pineda/Eovaldi this 3-headed monster may in fact spend lots of time together in the bullpen."Cashman said his "intent" is to keep Chapman-Miller-Betances together as a 3-headed monster in the bullpen."
I meant the starting lineup. Presumably you trade Miller for someone that can slot right into the lineup unless you go the prospect route but that doesn't make sense if you're trying to win in 2016 which I assume they're doing by trading for Chapman. You can't move C, 1B, 2B, SS, CF, LF, RF, or DH. So I guess 3B? SS if you aren't sold on GG but I think they are. That's why I said it's not flexible.Can you explain this?

MIAMI - Police say there was "insufficient evidence" to charge Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman in a domestic disturbance incident between the pitcher and his girlfriend at his South Florida home, and they've closed the investigation.
But the matter appears to have put on hold a proposed trade sending Chapman to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Joe Torre, MLB's chief baseball officer, said Tuesday that there is no timetable in making a decision on Chapman's status under the league's new domestic violence policy

The Davie Police Department released its report on the Oct. 30 incident Tuesday. It cites conflicting stories and a lack of co-operating witnesses and says there were no physical injuries.
According to the report, police arrived at the home in the Fort Lauderdale suburb after getting a call about a domestic incident. They spoke to Cristina Barnea, 22, who told officers that Chapman pushed her, put his hands around her neck and "choked" her during an argument in the theatre at the pitcher's home. She said that the argument was broken up by family members and that Chapman had left the house.
Barnea told police that she heard gunshots a short time later and went outside and hid in the bushes until she could make contact with police. She left the couple's infant daughter inside the home.
Police say in the report that they interviewed Chapman, who said the argument had happened during a party. He said he poked Barnea on the shoulder, telling her not to "talk to him like that." He said she fell to the ground, yelling.
Chapman told investigators that Barnea's brother pushed him to the ground. Chapman said he got up, left the house, and got into the passenger seat of a 2015 Land Rover with his friend. Chapman said he punched the passenger window with his left fist, creating a laceration on the knuckle of his left pinky. At that point, he told investigators, he got his pistol from the glove box and locked himself in his garage. He fired seven rounds into a concrete wall and fired one round through a window before tossing the pistol aside.

Ah, OK, that I definitely agree with, and I don't think 3B is flexible either with Headley having 3/39 left on his deal. I agree they keep both Miller and Chapman until the trading deadline at least, and maybe even try to keep them together longer if they don't get bowled over by a trade package.I meant the starting lineup. Presumably you trade Miller for someone that can slot right into the lineup unless you go the prospect route but that doesn't make sense if you're trying to win in 2016 which I assume they're doing by trading for Chapman.
