New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn’t interested in giving Aroldis Chapman the apology that he is seeking. Chapman hasn’t been too keen with the manner in which the Yankees treated him toward the end of the 2022 season, even going so far to say that general manager Brian Cashman needs to say he’s sorry.
Background
The eight-time All-Star was ruled out of New York’s American League Divisional Series against Cleveland that year after he skipped a mandatory workout. Boone said on Friday that he made the decision, based on a lot of things and thought, to leave him off because he thought that was the right thing to do for our club at the time.
Chapman, 38, recorded 153 saves during his seven seasons with New York from 2016-22. Signed to a one-year, $13.3 million deal with the rival Red Sox, Chapman is 0-1 with a 0.46 ERA and 13 saves in 13 chances for Boston.
