Aroldis Chapman has gotten the attention of most of the major market baseball teams. On Dec. 14th he had a workout session in Houston, Texas in front of nearly 40 scouts and coaches. The Marlins made an offer for Chapman along with the Cubs and Red Sox shortly after the session. Since then the Yankees, Blue Jays, Angels, and A's have showed interest in him. The 6' 4" hard throwing lefty has impressed many clubs with his fastball that is clocked at 102 MPH. The Red Sox have offered him the most money right now, a deal that is worth $15.5 million. It would be great to get Chapman although if he starts in the minor league I don't think that would be the best move to pay a minor leaguer over $15 million. The Sox should use their money for some offensive power, they need a bat for the 3 or 4 hole to keep the pressure of Big Papi.
