Yankees Mailbag: Aroldis Chapman, luxury tax, and sliders

Good morning and happy Friday! We have five questions in today’s mailbag. Don’t feel bad if yours didn’t get answered; there were a ton of submissions this week. Just keep sending questions in to our weekly call or by e-mailing them to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.

Kyle Ren asks: Any particular reason why Chapman decided to throw two straight sliders to Altuve? Wouldn’t he have been better to paint the corners a little with fastballs, especially since he got a strike with the first slider?
