Cubs' Aroldis Chapman: Traded to Cubs
Chapman was traded to the Cubs on Monday, MLB Network Insider Jon Heyman reports.
Analysis:
Chapman will most likely inherit the ninth-inning duties for the Cubs, overtaking current closer Hector Rondon. The Cubs will be sending top prospect Gleyber Torres, prospect Billy McKinney, pitcher Adam Warren and one more player to the Yankees in the deal. There is no initial word if the deal includes an extension with Chapman and the Cubs. On the season, the flame-throwing left-hander owns a 2.01 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 44 strikeouts in 31.1 innings.
