Cubs land marquee closer Aroldis Chapman from Yankees


The Cuban Missile: The Legend Of Aroldis Chapman

The Cubs made their boldest move of the Theo Epstein regime by acquiring power-throwing closer Aroldis Chapman from the Yankees on Monday.

Chapman, 28, gives the Cubs the formidable left-handed late-inning specialist theyve sought in their efforts to win their first World Series title since 1908.

The trade cost the Cubs prized shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres, pitcher Adam Warren, left-handed-hitting outfielder Billy McKinney, 21, and, reportedly, minor leaguer Rashad Crawford.

But the Cubs believe Chapman, who has a 3-0 record with a 2.01 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 31 1/3 innings, is worth the cost and controversy surrounding him. Chapman has 165 saves over the past five seasons with the Reds and Yankees, and his fastball was clocked at 105 mph numerous times last week.

Chapman, however, served a 30-game suspension at the start of this season under Major League Baseballs new policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. Chapman was accused of choking his 22-year-old girlfriend and firing eight shots in his Florida home after last season but was not prosecuted due to conflicting information.

Chapman also has been cited for numerous driving violations primarily speeding penalties in Florida.

In a July game at Great American Ballpark in July 2014, Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo took exception to several of Chapmans pitches sailing near the heads of a few teammates.

Rizzo went toward the Reds dugout, igniting a bench-clearing incident. But Rizzo and several Reds players made their peace at the 2014 All-Star Game.

Epstein, who is in a win-now mode for the second consecutive summer, has been aggressive in his search to upgrade the bullpen particularly from the left side.

The Cubs acquired lefty Mike Montgomery from the Mariners in a four-player trade completed Wednesday. After making the deal, Epstein was pleased that he still maintained several of his top trading chips in the minors that allowed him to continue pursuing a marquee pitcher of Chapmans talents well in advance of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.

Travis Wood, the Cubs primary left-hander in the bullpen, is among the league leaders with 49 appearances.

Chapman was scheduled to earn $11.325 million this season in his final season as an arbitration eligible player and is expected to become one of the most highly sought-after free agents in what is projected as a shallow free agent pitching market this winter.

Chapman, a former starting pitcher, still is equipped to throw multiple innings. That fits in well with manager Joe Maddons habit of asking relievers to get more than three outs on certain occasions.

The Cubs have struggled against left-handed hitters in late-inning situations, but Chapman, 28, has limited left-handers to a .123 batting average with one home run in 309 career at-bats against left-handers.

Chapman also is familiar with the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates from his days with the Cincinnati Reds. The Cardinals havent scored in their past 25 innings against Chapman, who has a lifetime 2.01 ERA to go with an .099 batting average with 51 strikeouts in 31 innings against them.

Cardinals All-Star catcher Yadier Molina is 0-for-7 with four strikeouts against Chapman, while Matt Holiday and Matt Carpenter are each 1-for-8 with five strikeouts.

Chapman has a lifetime 0.90 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 40 innings against the Pirates, who are batting only .145 against him.

Chapman has pitched in only two postseasons and none since 2012, but he should know whats at stake as he approaches free agency with the chance to help the Cubs win their first World Series since 1908.

Against potential playoff opponents, Chapman has struck out 28 in 17 innings against the Washington Nationals while limiting them to a .125 batting average to go with a 1.04 ERA.

Chapman has been even more dominant against the Los Angeles Dodgers, not allowing a run while striking out 17 in nine innings. Dodgers sluggers Justin Turner, Chase Utley and Adrian Gonzalez are a combined 0-for-14 with eight strikeouts.

Hehas struck out 23 in 14 1/3 innings against the San Francisco Giants to go with a 1.26 ERA.

Reports also stated that the Yankees were hesitant to move left-hander Andrew Miller, who is signed through 2018 and drew heavy interest from the Cubs and several teams. That caused many teams to look at other relievers, especially Chapman.

A Yankees scout attended the Cubs three-game series at Milwaukee this weekend.

Torres, 19, was deemed expendable with Addison Russell, 22, as the Cubs shortstop and versatile Javier Baez, 23, who came through the Cubs" system as a shortstop.Torres hit.275 with nine home runs, 47 RBIs, 19 stolen bases and 62 runs in 94 games. The Cubs signed him to a $1.8 million bonus in the 2013 international draft.

The Yankees have been looking to fortify their 40-man roster with top high-level prospects to take over for aging, high-salaried veterans.

Kristen Bell Shares Her Wedding Photo for the First Time (and She Didn"t Wear White!)


Kristen Bell: Stardom on her terms

Three years later, but never too late! Though Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard were married in a private courthouse ceremony in 2013, they never released photos from their special day until the actress appeared on CBS Sunday Morning.

Kristen Bell Gets Emotional Talking About Dax Shepards Addict Past Kristen Bell Blasts Trump for His Frozen Tweet Broadway Stars Perform Orlando Charity Single on "Maya and Marty": Watch

For a pretaped Sunday, July 24, episode, Bell, 36, who now shares two daughters with her husband of three years, got choked up talking about her nuptials. "We got married in a tiny room in the Beverly Hills courthouse," Bell shared, "and it was still one of the best days of my life."

PHOTOS: Stars Who Didn"t Wear White on Their Wedding Day

Eschewing the traditional white, the Bad Moms actress chose a short-sleeved, all-black ensemble that tied at the waist, topped by a statement necklace. In lieu of a bouquet, she carried two flowers. Shepard, 41, meanwhile, looked dapper in a classic tailored tuxedo, finished with a black bow tie.

The Veronica Mars alum also talked about what makes her husband such a good partner. "He"s a wonderful father," she said, tearing up. "He was an addict for many, many years, and he pulled himself out of it. He"s been sober for 11 or 12 years now I think almost 12 and he knows how many times he"s messed up. And how many times he"s been really close to losing everything."

Bell, who attended San Diego Comic-Con this past week to promote her new TV show, The Good Place, said that in the end, it all comes down to family for her. "I always think if I"m on my deathbed, what am I going to be thinking about? And it won"t be some random movie you participated in or some TV show. It will be my family," she said.

Cubs pushing for Aroldis Chapman deal with Yankees


WGN Leadoff Man: June 4 - Gleyber Torres

MILWAUKEE The Cubs wont walk onto U.S. Cellular Field on Monday night wearing black Try Not To Cut T-shirts with a scissors image replacing the managers iconic glasses. But Joe Maddon still couldnt resist trolling the White Sox after Chris Sales temper tantrum.

With an AWOL pitcher, a manager on the hot seat and a front office under siege, the Cubs will see what they used to look like in a rivalry that sometimes brought out the worst in them.

This is Carlos Zambrano-level bizarre on the South Side, the White Sox suspending Sale for five days after their franchise player cut up 1976 throwback jerseys, creating a feeding frenzy in the middle of trade-deadline-rumor season. That speculation apparently bothered Sale, who got sent home before Saturdays scheduled start against the Detroit Tigers, leaving the bullpen to cover for his unprofessionalism.

Its not easy, Maddon said before Sundays 6-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. Obviously, its only going to occur if your teams struggling a bit.

If youre doing well, that doesnt happen. So you have the struggle of the group, and then a really good player being mentioned as a trade piece. From the managers perspective, its not as difficult as the player himself and then the inter-politics of the clubhouse. Thats where it becomes more difficult.

You dont even know what those conversations sound like and how that cuts at the fabric of what youre attempting to do. No pun intended.

Maddons presence as the teams smirking ringmaster helps a rivalry that missed larger-than-life personalities like Lou Piniella and Ozzie Guillen. The Cubs wont see Sale until Thursday night at Wrigley Field in this seasons fourth and final crosstown game between two franchises heading in opposite directions.

I know it was entertaining from a distance, Maddon said. Im sure being in the organization not so much. And I get that. Ive never heard that one before.

The dentist used to send us every six months things for a checkup. And I threw that away so my mom would not take me to the dentist. Thats the closest I could relate to what happened.

[SHOP:Buy a "Try Not to Suck" shirt with proceeds benefiting Joe Maddon"s Respect 90 Foundation & other Cubs Charities]

Maddon remembered the end of an era with the Tampa Bay Rays, when David Price got traded to the Detroit Tigers in a three-team deal at the 2014 deadline. Within the next three months, Rays executive Andrew Friedman jumped for a presidents job with the Los Angeles Dodgers, triggering an escape clause in Maddons contract and giving Cubs fans a new costume for that Halloween.

It was hard for David, Maddon said. It really was difficult, especially if its your first organization. I think if you bounced (around) a little bit, its not so difficult. But if its your first time being included in trade conversations, its hard for the guy.

Regardless of knowing that you could end up in a good spot, or youre going to be wanted, (because) theres really actually a lot of positives attached to it. Its still the negative you might really like where youre at, its your first organization, you have a lot of friendships.

Awkward. Its an awkward feeling. You adjust. Everybody does. But theres still all this unknown stuff that is unsettling.

Like what the media circus and the fan atmospherics will be like during those first two games at U.S. Cellular Field. So much for the White Sox bonding after Adam LaRoches retirement in the middle of spring training and using that money to reinvest at the trade deadline. Or Sale smoothing everything over after torching executive vice president Kenny Williams for the way he handled Drake LaRoches clubhouse access.

Im sure it will be entertaining, Maddon said. The South Siders have a wonderful sense of humor that we can definitely all appreciate.
