Yankees seek trade for Aroldis Chapman to address bullpen struggles

The New York Yankees are exploring a potential trade for pitcher Aroldis Chapman from the Boston Red Sox due to significant challenges in their bullpen this season. The Yankees' bullpen has struggled, with multiple key arms failing to perform consistently. Chapman's contract could appeal to teams because it includes a $13 million option for 2027. Strengthening the bullpen with Chapman might allow other pitchers, like David Bednar, to work in lower-pressure situations. A decision on the trade could come as the deadline approaches.
