The left-hander has moved from one of the worst teams to one of the best
Clever guy, that Aroldis, because that’s what happened: He’s the newest member of the Texas Rangers, who lead the AL West by five games over the Houston Astros, whom they beat, 5-2, on Saturday.. “This team is fighting for a position in the playoffs. [I’m] really hyped and excited about it, [I’m] happy.”Chapman, 35, is a seven-time All-Star who had a 2.45 ERA in 29.1 innings for the Royals.
“Everything went great in Kansas City,” Chapman said. “I’ve had a pretty good year, [I’m] thankful for it.” Rangers’ Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven scoreless innings to become the American League’s second 10-game winner, and Chapman was in the bullpen but never warmed up. “Looking forward to having him,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “He just made us a better team, a better bullpen.”
