Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman emerges as potential trade piece

As the Red Sox approach the Aug. 3 trade deadline, Aroldis Chapman may be on the trading block. His trade value has reportedly increased after a strong performance this season, converting all 13 save opportunities with a 0.46 ERA. Whether Boston decides to retain the All-Star closer depends on their trajectory for the remainder of the season. If the team struggles to contend for a postseason spot, trading Chapman could yield significant prospects.
