Fine and removal from the Regional Series list
Yankees pitcher Aroldis Chapman was absent from practice on the 7th (8th Japan time) when he was required to participate. Several media outlets in the United States, including local media “North Jersey.com,” reported that he would be fined and removed from the American League Area Series roster, saying that his career with the Yankees was almost over. head
The Yankees have yet to meet the Rangers to decide a division series roster, but general manager Brian Cashman said Chapman “almost voluntarily let go, at least this round.”
On the 9th (10th), GM Cashman, who appeared at practice at Yankee Stadium, explained the circumstances to the media. Chapman flew home to Miami after Friday’s regular season finale. He was supposed to perform BP live at the same stadium on the 7th (8th), but he did not appear at the stadium while staying at home. “He made the decision not to show up, so I fined him,” Cashman said.
General Manager Cashman and manager Aaron Boone spoke with Chapman on the phone. “I told him he was away (from the team) for a while and I felt it was inexcusable that he wasn’t here,” Boone said.
Chapman, who lacked control of the ball all season and lost his position as goalkeeper, seemed likely to be dropped from the Division Series roster. However, as the other pitchers were recovering from injuries, there was a chance that a chance would come out, but it may have been lost due to an “unauthorized absence”.
Cashman said it was “a little surprising” that Chapman didn’t show up to practice and stayed home, but that he wasn’t “surprised.” “Sometimes I wondered if he was giving it his all,” she said, adding that “words don’t match actions.” Chapman, 34, is now in free agency. Although he has reigned as a majestic guardian god as the fastest 169 km left arm in mankind, his ball speed has dropped more than 1 mph since last season, and he has been on the injured list several times. A local newspaper said there were no plans to renew the contract. What decision will the Yankees make?
