Aroldis Chapman Left Off Yankees Roster, AL Wild Card Drama

MLB Central discusses the Yankees Postseason roster and storylines from the American League Wild Card.

Spot on about Chapman. The coverage on this net work a second to none.

[zachlee]

if you told a yankee fan at the start of the year Chapman was gonna be DFA'd we'd have rejoiced

[jayceh]

Cleveland is favored
Actually, Yankees will be underdogs in every series they play this year.

[SemperSalam]

As a yankee fan I’m overjoyed by this. All Chapman will do is walk the bases loaded and lose the game for us.

[rillest]

I got hammered this one time, I'm talking I ended up sleeping in my roommates bed with his gf and fooling around. Wasn't till the next morning when he came in from work that I had some splaining to do. Bought him a 6 pack and we ended up having a 3some later that month.

“Yankees pitcher Aroldis Chapman said he would attend their mandatory workout if he definitely was going to be on their postseason roster. The Yankees could not give him that assurance. Chapman stayed home in Miami. The Yankees told him to stay there. His Yankee career is over.”

[THEJOEBECK]

How dare you? Chapman is down in Florida giving his personal time to help citizens recover after one of the most devastating hurricanes the state has ever seen.

Or he probably shit his pants again. 🤷‍♂️

[nightowl]

I’m not a Chapman fan but if somebody told me, I won’t be part of the post season roster, but I have to attend a mandatory workout? Be honest, how many of you would go? Chapman already got paid through the season. Yes, he didn’t have a stellar year but so what? He’s older and that’s what happens in sports when you get older. He doesn’t owe that team anything. They don’t want him on the roster. Screw your workout, I’d stay in Miami too!

[JohnjOcampo]

When he was all in he sent us home twice in the playoffs, imagine him now then..
Stay home bud.

[bigdbohnen]

Won't miss him at all. DFA him. This is the best case scenario. Lets Go Yankees

[cejannuzi]

Too bad it had to end like this. I don't think he helped his case as someone a new team wants.

[nicholasvalentino]

I think the Yankees are a perfect example of man overpowering an organization. No doubt, George built them into a modern day power house. But his personality is also what helped coined the term "evil empire". As a Guardians fan I can easily say the Yankees are just as good as ever, but far less hateable when George or his elder son isn't fueling the flames.

[JaredPlotts]

The Yankees janky bullpen is exactly why the Guardians have a chance.

[vvzelda]

The team that scored 3 runs in 24 innings against the worst team in the playoffs😂😂 yanks in 3

[seanfinnerty]

The Yankees are garbage with or without Chapman. If the umpires would call balls and strikes properly when playing the Yankees, they would have at least 12 less wins.

[charleschampion]

Send Chapmans locker junk to Miami COD and forget him. Now for more important news is yanks can't beat the Guardians...

[JorgeAC]

I used to know alot of people who worked in nightclubs in Chicago. He was ALWAYS in the clubs. That guy thinks way too highly of himself
