Cubs proposed trade for Aroldis Chapman involves two prospects from Red Sox

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Chicago Cubs are considering a trade for Aroldis Chapman with the Boston Red Sox. The deal, proposed by Kerry Miller from Bleacher Report, would send prospects Ariel Armas and Brooks Caple to Boston for the veteran closer. Chapman, currently 38, is regarded as crucial bullpen help for the Cubs as they aim for postseason contention. He has a 2027 option that could activate if he pitches enough innings this season. The Cubs could further solidify their roster if they move forward with this trade proposal, which is seen as a beneficial step for the team.
