The Cuban Missile in Crisis
Aroldis Chapman was the biggest acquisition in what was an otherwise quiet offseason for the New York Yankees. But some high profile baggage came with signing the Cuban ballplayer in the form of a domestic assault charge brought by his girlfriend. While no legal charges were ever brought, MLB investigated and handed down a 30 game suspension. So we wont know what type of impact Chapman will have in the Big Apple at least until May. But if he can keep things buttoned up off the field and deliver even half of what he did for the Cincinnati Reds this addition could give the Yankees the strongest bullpen in baseball.
