The New York Yankees have been routinely dominated by the hated Boston Red Sox this season, but a recent development might just be the catalyst that the Bombers need to turn the tables.
Aroldis Chapman's turnaround has been one of the most unexpected stories of the 2025 season. The 37-year-old former Yankee leads all qualified relievers in ERA with a 1.04 mark this year, after looking like his career was dead, being forced to play for the pitiful Pittsburgh Pirates last season.
Now Boston is doubling down, agreeing to a contract extension with the volatile lefty that will keep him in Boston through 2026, and possibly 2027, depending on whether he hits the qualifiers for his vesting option.
