Chapman to Opt Out

I guess by announcing this before the trade deadline, he's giving the Yanks a chance to hunt for a replacement right away. In any event, it's not like they don't already have a pair of experienced closers as well as maybe Betances and others coming back or up to join the pen before the playoffs start. Many fans are probable indifferent to his presence on the team, but the Yanks should, still consider offering him arbitration just to screw with him.
