Yankees, Cubs Nearing Aroldis Chapman Trade

July 25th, 2016 at 8:48am CST • By Mark Polishuk

8:48am: Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports (links to Twitter) that the Cubs would send four players to the Yankees in the deal. In addition to Torres, former Yankees right-hander Adam Warren would likely return to New York. Candelario, according to Sherman, is not in the deal. The trade has the approval of Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner, Sherman notes. Rosenthal tweets that the trade is in its final stages, and the players have been agreed upon.

 

8:32am: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets that if the deal is completed, there will be “much more” than just Torres and another prospect in the deal.

 

8:19am: Jorge Soler will not be included in this trade, reports Jon Morosi of MLB.com (on Twitter). George A. King III of the New York Post reports that switch-hitting third baseman Jeimer Candelario could be in play, however.

 

JULY 25, 7:30am: The Cubs and Yankees are on the verge of agreeing to the deal, reports USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, citing a high-ranking but anonymous Cubs official. The deal would send Torres and one other prospect, per Nightengale.

Conflicting reports that they are talking about an extension too. Honestly the Cubs should just go for it and sell the farm. They have the payroll to sign free agents and a current young roster at pretty much every spot.

Is this a net negative or positive for jays ws chances in 2016?

[Angrioter]

Cubs are mad

[G-Snarls]

I can't imagine giving up a package like that without an extension

Net positive

 

No Chapman is good we play Yankees a lot

[G-Snarls]

Cubs are mad

 

It's almost like they don't realize that have a core that will have them in contention for years to come

[RealAccountant]

Anyone else get the feeling Chapman is going to suck after the extension and he has cashed in. This is a guy who is pulling a gun in his house, I think once he gets his hands on even major dough it will pretty much end his dominance

[G-Snarls]

What a massive profit move by Cashman though flipping him

 

f***

[Cyborg]

Kinda a weird trade since Chapman will have pretty much 0 effect on Cubs playoff odds. Its all to overwork him out of the pen in the playoffs.

[BTS]

Cubs are just dealing guys that are blocked. Warren sucks, and Vogelbach and Torres have nowhere to play.

No.

Yeah. They can coast to a division championship. With all the off days in the post season he's very valuable there obviously.

That's just stupid.

 

Also, he doesn't even need a gun he should just get a holster for a baseball.

If this is the package in a done deal, how much better is it than the package the Yankees sent to Cinci to get him in the first place? (Or is it for sure)

[Dr. Dinger]

I can't imagine they would trade Gleyber without an extension for Chapman.

Torres alone blows the Yankee package out of the water.

[Governator]

Yea this, Cub's top prospect vs the scrap heap Yankees shipped out.

[Dr. Dinger]

Great trade for the Yankees, long-term.

[Governator]

Can extension talks be part of a trade midseason? I know AA did it with Dickey but that was in the offseason. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Yankees are probably willing to punt one more year in 2017 if they have to. Fans won't like it but with more shrewd moves they could be in annoyingly good shape by 2018/2019. Farm getting stronger, and lots of dead $ coming off the books just as big impact free agents come available.

That's up to Chapman and his agent. The Cubs are an incredible team, so if they offer to pay him market value, I don't see why he wouldn't consider it.

No rules against it that I've ever heard

 

You just don't ever see it

[Governator]

No rules against it that I've ever heard

 

So they can say we'll agree to the trade but we want to talk to Chapman first?

[G-Snarls]

So they can say we'll agree to the trade but we want to talk to Chapman first?

 

Yes. Can tell the Yankees trade is contingent on him agreeing to an extension. Just like AA did with the Mets as you said

 

Hmmmm....

 

FU RA Dickey for agreeing to the extension. Lmao.

[baseballsss]

So they can say we'll agree to the trade but we want to talk to Chapman first?

 

Yah they can do that. Basically they'll agree upon a time frame in which an extension has to be done and if it is not then trade off.

[G-Snarls]

It could be why the deal isn't quite official yet

[Governator]

C'mon Yankees, you know you want Storen.
