Aroldis Chapman and the New York Yankees seem to have parted ways after the pitcher skipped a playoff prep workout.
Does Aaron Judge's historic season put more pressure on Yanks to win it all?
Chapman remained at home instead of showing up to pitch a scheduled live batting practice in the Bronx. Prepping the Yankee hitters for opposing pitchers might have been his only postseason role. As to why Chapman chose to be a no-show, well, “I think he questioned whether he was going to be on the roster or not.’’'
Though the GM said it was initially “a little shocking’’ that Chapman chose to remain home instead of pitching live BP, “it’s not surprising’’ when you add it all up.Despite having “verbally maintained’’ his understanding about being replaced as closer and accepting his standing on the club, “at times actions don’t match those words,’’ Cashman said.A seven-time All-Star , Chapman pitched to a 6.98 ERA from May 14 through Aug.
