Yanks won’t sign Chapman

According to ESPN’s Buster Olney (props to RAB), the Yankees are not in on Aroldis Chapman as the bidding is expected to reach $20 million for his services. Apparently, some clubs — Olney speaks in generalities here (it’s Twitter, mind you), but I would presume that he is referring to the Yankees, at least in part — are worried the lefty might be better suited for the bullpen rather than the starting rotation. Therefore, $20 million is too much to spend on a reliever. If this is truly the case, we could see Chapman sign with the Angels, Blue Jays, or Marlins this week.
Now, I trust the Yankees’ personnel, however, I hope losing Chapman doesn’t one day haunt them.
If he pans out, the Yanks will sign him as a free agent some day.

Good, the Yankees have wasted too much money in the past on hyped up, losers from abroad. They need to concentrate more on developing there prospects & stop trading them away.
