Remember when Aroldis Chapman escaped the most seat-of-his-pants inning of his career in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series against the Yankees, then proceeded not to factor into Games 2 and 3 whatsoever as the Yanks rallied to eliminate his Red Sox in embarrassing fashion? Bringing that up apropos of nothing.
Chapman left the Yankees after the 2022 season with a tarnished legacy — which is impressive considering how far into the toilet his legacy already was when he arrived. He allowed season-ending home runs in 2019 and 2020. He lost countless games in which he left his command in the bullpen, especially at Fenway Park.
