Report: Yankees Out of Running For Aroldis Chapman

Jan 7, 2010

Cuban sensation Aroldis Chapman hasn't chosen a team yet, but it seems like decision time is fast approaching.

Boston.com reports that the 21-year-old left-hander could pick a team by the end of the week — and in some encouraging news for the Red Sox, the Yankees are out.

Boston, on the other hand, is believed to be in the mix still, but GM Theo Epstein has stayed mum on the topic.

Boston.com writes that the Yankees believe Chapman will need to start in Single-A ball, but Chapman and his reps dispute that notion. Additionally, the Yankees believe it is too risky to pay $20 million for a player with no proven major league ability.

The Angels and the Blue Jays are reportedly still interested, but the Marlins have also allegedly dropped out of the running.
