Cubs to acquire Aroldis Chapman from Yankees | MLB.comThe Cubs have agreed to a deal to acquire hard-throwing left-hander Aroldis Chapman from the Yankees, a source told MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez. The clubs have not confirmed.
The Yankees will receive a multiplayer package in return for Chapman, headlined by 19-year-old shortstop Gleyber Torres, the Cubs' No. 1 prospect and No. 24 overall per MLB Pipeline. Torres, who may eventually switch to second or third base, was hitting .275 with nine homers in 94 games for Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach.
The Yankees will also receive outfielder Billy McKinney, right-hander Adam Warren and outfielder Rashad Crawford.
Hopefully this is just the beginning of a fire sale in NY.
