Closer Aroldis Chapman has reportedly been acquired by the Chicago Cubs from the New York Yankees for minor leaguers Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Adam Warren and Rashad Crawford. That is a hefty price for a guy who is one of the best relievers in baseball, but who is also a free agent at season's end, and who also carries with him the baggage of having been involved in an alleged episode of domestic violence this past offseason, which resulted in him getting a 30 game suspension to start the season. New York acquired Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds this offseason after a deal between the Reds and the Los Angeles Dodgers fell apart over the domestic violence incident.
