Great News - Chapman back to Yankees for 5 years!

Sorry BFT but looks like the Chappy is heading back to the American League. I'm thrilled. This guy is pure evil and fittingly is back in the Bronx Zoo. What would be ironic is if somehow Cutch ended up there as well during this off-season. Chapman tried to kill Cutch 2 years ago with a purposefully fastball to the head. I'd be all in favor of putting Chap back out to sea on the flotilla that brought him here.

 

I'm fine with losing him but I REALLY wish we'd go get Kenley Jansen. His heater is not as fast but he's definitely a more versatile and durable pitcher. Still appreciate what Chapman done for us while we had him rented though.

 

Fowler to the Cards just hits me right in the gut. I wish him well and really love him but dang for him to go there just hurts like crazy. One of my buddies hopes we go for McCutchens.

 

If that happened - I'd switch allegiance to the Pittsburg (Kansas) Corn Nuts American Legion Team.

 

Ahem... It's McCutchen. No 's' on the end. And keep your grimey paws off him!

 

I don't think you have anything to worry about. LOL!

 

I'm pretty sure he is off the trade block. Of course if he played like he did last year !!!

 

Yeah I say there's really no way they let him go. Any team would be lucky to have him though. I think for the Cubs losing Dexter Fowler is devastating. In games where he scored or reached base our record was astronomical. He's also a great defender. The Cards just upgraded big time. Still $87 million is a lot for a guy his age. I can understand the Cubs not wanting to pay that and I can understand him wanting to accept it as well.
