On Thursday mid-day, previous MLB All-Star Carlos Baerga reported a report that the Dodgers and also Padres had actually both made two-year agreement supplies to left-handed alleviation bottleAroldis Chapman We created after that concerning exactly how the report would certainly have made good sense if it weren’t particularly concerning Chapman, whom Los Angeles was close to obtaining throughout the 2015 Winter Meetings prior to residential physical violence accusations appeared and also created L.A. to nix the offer. Chapman was later on put on hold 30 ready the event, the initial gamer put on hold under the brand-new plan consented to by MLB and also the MLB Players Association simply a couple of months previously.
Los Angeles Times sportswriter Mike DiGiovanna has actually verified what all of us presumed: There’s no fact to the Chapman rumors.
Several rumors drifting around today concerning the #Dodgers wanting expert more detailed Aroldis Chapman, one asserting group has actually used him a two-year offer. Neither holds true. Two resources accustomed to group’s reasoning claim LA is not associated with the bidding process for the embattled LHP.
The Dodgers require still, yet the bullpen isn’t high up on the checklist. You can never ever have excessive bullpen deepness, yet Los Angeles has a solid core in alleviation that has the possible to be leading in the late innings. Considering Chapman’s off-field background– in addition to that he’s been rather negative the last pair years– it would certainly have appeared out of personality for L.A. possession to turn around training course on him currently.
Throw in the dramatization pertaining to Trevor Bauer’s scenario and also the Dodgers’ appearing rejection to go after Carlos Correa due to his checkered past, and also finalizing Chapman today would certainly have been a truly unusual action.
Sorry, people, yet mark this down in Baerga’s expanding loss column.
