Chapman entered IL last year for an infection allegedly caused by a tattoo
Pitcher Aroldis Chapman, the fastest left-handed man in the world, is still undecided. Francis Romero, who belongs to the National Press Association, posted a video on Twitter of him practicing pitching in a tank top. “Rumors about having offers from the Dodgers and Padres are not true. I pitched in front of an MLB team in Miami yesterday, but sources say there have been no offers yet.”
In 2022, the guardian deity was stripped from the middle, and in 43 games pitched, he finished with 4 wins, 4 losses, 9 saves and an ERA of 4.46. He was placed on the injured list (IL) in late August with a leg infection, which was attributed to a new tattoo.
Although he still stands out for his thick upper arms and muscularity, fans say, “He’s not worth investing in,” “He’s not what he used to be,” and “I’m so glad he’s out of New York. Now the Yankees.” should be able to win the World Series.” On the other hand, there were also “love calls” such as “Angels, why don’t you think about it?”, “Welcome to Tokyo” and “Softbank”.
When asked about Chapman by a fan, Yankees reporter Chris Kirshner of The Athletic said, “Is there any Yankees fan who wants Chapman back? He quit the team while prepping, got an infection from a tattoo when the bullpen was tough, and he hasn’t been very effective on the mound the last two years. His fastball has slowed down, he’s been using it less often, and I honestly don’t know how much he’s worth right now.”
The New York Post, a local newspaper in New York, reported that Chapman’s departure was “still lingering.” Former Mets forward Carlos Baiega posted on Instagram on the 5th (Japan time 6th) that seemed to tie the Dodgers and Chapman together, and wrote that there were rumors that the Padres had offered Chapman a two-year contract.
In response, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Dodgers’ hometown newspaper, said: “The rumors are not true. Two sources say the Dodgers have nothing to do with their troubled left arm. is,” he tweeted. A lot of attention has been focused on Chapman, who remains a free agency less than two months into spring training.
