However, this could be left behind soon since it was revealed that there is three (3) teams interested in signing the Cuban for the 2023 Season of Major League Baseball (MLB). ‘El Misil’ became a free agent after leaving the New York Yankees.

The journalist Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported this Thursday, January 12, that three (3) teams would be looking to take over the services of veteran Aroldis Chapman from free agency.

Heyman did not mention the names of the organizations that would go for the signature of the native of Holguín, Cuba, but in recent days rumors arose that the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres could be among them.

The Cuban had a difficult 2022 as he lost his job as a closer for the New York Yankees when he was replaced by Clay Holmes. In addition, he was left out of the American League Division Series for missing a mandatory practice.

Aroldis Chapman has been named an All-Star seven times during his 13-year major league career. He has a 2.48 ERA as well as 315 saves.

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, beginning a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is mainly managed by men. Bachelor of Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball in the Mexican Baseball League (LMB). ), Mexican Pacific League (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Serie del Rey. I have done work for social networks such as coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social networks, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was at a Leones de Yucatán game, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team I love and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, at the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from ‘minute one’ and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
