Look, it is a worry, especially if the Cubs win the World Series. At that point, Aroldis Chapman could fall in love with his new team and the Cubs could off him a contract that he can't refuse, and so, it's bye bye Chapman in the Bronx.
NJ.com has the story, and it's very interesting:
"Although Miller isn't available to the highest bidder, Chapman will be. One year after trading for him—then trading him away—speculation has been abound for months about a possible Chapman-Yankees reunion in the form of a record contract before the start of the 2017 season.
The only problem?
Chapman's current team might not let him get out of the confines of Wrigley Field."
And of course Nick Carado of the Boston Globe writes this:
"No doubt Brian Cashman would like to get back into the hunt for Chapman after dealing him to the Cubs at the trade deadline. The one problem is the Yankees GM traded him to the Cubs, who have the resources to re-sign him."
And so yes, the Yankees biggest free agent targets appear to be Edwin Encarnacion and Aroldis Chapman, and so, with guys like ARod and Mark Texieria coming off the books, there may be that extra money lying around to make a deal for Chapman and Edwin, but the question is, will the Cubs just make it so incredible, Chapman won't want to leave.
Hey, who really knows, I just hope the Yanks can snatch him up.
Stay tuned.
