Neither is true. LA is not involved in his difficult LHP bid, according to two of his sources familiar with the team&#8217;s thinking.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"H4Y33GEJPVEYFK7DBQQSOPVGKM\"><b>Want to bet on MLB?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"5WEYBLSKPZGBBKRHBAJBHAMWNQ\"><b>See the best NJ sports betting sites<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"JOTGP37MHZCZVDOUHQXUBY67GM\">Chapman, 34, appeared in 43 games last season, going 4-4 \u200b\u200bwith nine saves and a career-worst 4.46 ERA. He nearly burned every bridge leading to the Bronx when he missed a workout at Yankee Stadium during his 2022 MLB playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"RO3Q3DF63VC63GR4LLPPO7OYJU\">The 13-year MLB veteran is a seven-time All-Star, and his 315 all-time saves rank 24th all-time, but third among active pitchers. Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Craig Kimbrel has 394 saves and Boston Reds reliever Kenley Jansen has 391 saves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"UL7IRE5YORDRLHXKYD4ASV2EY4\"><b>More MLB:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"DWISKMWZUJF7XINI4LMJMBHKWA\"><b>&#8211; <\/b><b>Former Yankees slugger challenges Aaron Judge to batting contest<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"PX2ZUQCG75C2XIIHB267TAXPKQ\"><b>&#8211; <\/b><b>Yankees-Pirates Brian Reynolds trade rumors: not so fast, insider says<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"O6JQIYCLYBDOTPHTEUUHGMREPM\"><b>&#8211; <\/b><b>Yankees &#8216;exploring trade options&#8217; for All-Star slugger, new left field option emerges<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BZ4ZRAOEV5CZTGVELYLT6AJLUI\"><b>&#8211; <\/b><b>AL Candidate Interested in Trade for Yankees&#8217; Gleyber Torres?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"LNB5BRZTB5E2FNBDKULJUGZ6VE\"><i>Thank you for trusting us to provide you with reliable journalism.
