Red Sox have not approached rebound All-Star about contract extension
2025 MLB All-Star Game | Kevin C. Cox/GettyImagesAroldis Chapman's career resurgence in a Boston Red Sox uniform has been a sight to behold. The longtime New York Yankees closer was formerly a hated rival, but his success with the Red Sox has been undeniable, even to his most passionate detractors.
Chapman is well on his way to posting the best season of his career with Boston, as a 16-year MLB veteran and eight-time All-Star. He's clocked a 1.18 ERA, 0.763 WHIP with 17 saves, 58 strikeouts and just 10 walks in 38 innings. The last time Chapman logged a sub-two ERA was in 2016, when he started his season with the Yankees and finished it with the World Series champion Cubs.
