Yanks Avoid Arbitration With Chapman

The Yanks today avoided arbitration with Aroldis Chapman by signing him to a one year 11.325M contract.    That sets them up to see how he plays out and either extend him or offer him arbitration again next year as he hits free agency.  Hopefully, they are thinking about extending Dellin Betances. Yes, pitchers and players get injured, but teams would be wise to lock up the good ones till age 30 as soon as they can.   The Yanks should have gotten way ahead of Cano's free agency, for example.
