Aroldis Chapman will be officially closing games for the New York Yankees in 2017 — as he signed a five-year, $86 million contract on Wednesday night.
Last season, the Cuban Missle pitched in 31 games for New York, recording 20 saves while striking out 44 batters in 31.1 innings of work.
He was then dealt to the Chicago Cubs on July 25, 2016, where he would give up just three earned runs in 26.2 innings (1.01 ERA) and played an integral part in their first World Series win wince 1908.
