Wake Up With Aroldis Chapman's Cubs Debut
Here we go. The Cubs are officially all in on 2016. They’ve pushed all their chips to the middle of the table. They unloaded a haul of four prospects, including their top prospect, to acquire one of the best relief pitchers in the game in Aroldis Chapman. The Cubs are promised two months of Chapman, and then, if all goes according to Theo Epstein’s plan, the entire month of October. Chicago came into last night with a 3.71 ERA in the ninth inning this season, which was 13th best in the majors. That’s about to come way, way down.
