Marlins Considering Aroldis Chapman
2 years agoThe Miami Marlins are among a few teams considering free-agent relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman, who lives in South Florida. The hard-throwing left-hander fell on hard times in 2022, posting a career-worst 4.46 ERA (4.57 FIP), 1.43 WHIP, nine saves and a career-low 26.9 percent strikeout rate in 36 1/3 relief innings in what will likely being his final season with the New York Yankees. The 35-year-old southpaw ended the year on a sour note with the club after landing on in the injured list due to a leg infection from a tattoo and then being left off the playoff roster after missing a mandatory meeting. He lost the closing gig to Clay Holmes last season and won't be guaranteed to land a closing job on the free-agent market. In Miami, Dylan Floro is projected to open the 2023 campaign as their primary closer.
