Chapman refutes domestic violence claim: 'I didn't do anything'

Aroldis Chapman didn't spend his suspension reflecting on his actions, because he feels he didn't do anything wrong.

The New York Yankees closer, who netted a 30-game suspension under the league's new domestic violence policy, is adamant he didn't hurt anyone, despite the ruling.

"I didn't do anything," Chapman told Billy Witz of The New York Times. "I have not put my hands on anyone, didn't put anyone in danger. Since I didn't do anything like that, I'm not thinking about it. If I didn't do anything, why should I think about it?"

Chapman has been accused of putting his hands around his girlfriend's neck, though police didn't arrest him. When asked why she called 911 while hiding in the bushes out of fear, Chapman described it as a situation that was blown out of proportion.

"It was just an argument with your partner that everyone has," he said. "I've even argued with my mother. When you are not in agreement with someone, we Latin people are loud when we argue.

"I do not have a problem."

Chapman is expected to rejoin the Yankees on Monday, and manager Joe Girardi has made it clear the lefty will step in as the team's closer immediately.
