Aroldis Chapman has been traded to the Chicago Cubs! The Cubs, who have been front runners for Chapman for a while finally land the flame throwing lefty. They got Chapman in a deal for 4 minor league prospects. This trade was always likely as the Cubs are looking to make a playoff push this year. Chapman is essentially a rental as he is a free agent at the start of next season. There is a slight risk in trading Minor league prospects for a rental because minor leaguers can help your franchise long term whereas a rental can only help you for a few months. Chapman was a great trade piece because he can hit 106 mph on the radar gun. The Cubs now have a complete roster of young great players and they look like they can be long term competitor for the National League Pennant.
