Hey, remember Aroldis Chapman before he lucked into this portion of his career? The Chapman who was one of baseball’s best hard-throwing closers before he suddenly lost the strike zone and then his job before he threw a hissy fit and left the team before the playoffs in 2022.
Clearly, despite having revived his career and won a second World Series ring since, the Yankees still live rent free in the guy’s head. Chapman recently appeared on the “Swing Completa” podcast and celebrated Festivus early with some Yankees grievances. He was asked if he’d ever return to New York and he made it very clear: Not happening.
