According to Jose Arangure Jr. (ESPN), while attending yesterday’s game, Aroldis Chapman spoke with a few Yankees officials, including GM Brian Cashman. Arangure characterizes the meeting as a positive one, with “good conversations” between to the two parties. Hopefully, after Andy Pettitte notched his 16th postseason win, Aroldis was left dreaming of what could be in New York and will eventually join the organization.

Chapman to me is a Yankee no-brainer.
Andy has one more season and LH starting pitching is an important part of Yankee success in the Playoffs and WS over their long history, especially in YAnkee Stadium.
MAtsui & or Johnny BE good don’t need to return and Yankees will eventually be out of the Posada’s contract (they drafted a million catchers) and yes, even Mariano’S.DOn’t forget Wangs money will also be available.
WHEN THAT ALL HAPPENS over the next 3 years and Yanks have money to spend, they won’t find a talent like this one to spend it on.
GO get him now before the Red Sox do.
Put him in double A to start, move him to Triple A later on after he’s added a better breaking pitch and plug him in for Andy the following season.

control lapses, probably.
Chapman is healthy, though. by all accounts.
