Chapman to the Red Sox. Intriguing, right? $10.75 million feels like a bargain, even with the declining velocity. He's clearly not the dominant force he once was, but 98 strikeouts in 61.2 innings last season? That kind of swing-and-miss potential is hard to ignore. Boston's bullpen definitely needed a boost, but is Chapman the answer? His walk rate is alarmingly high. Can he find enough control to be effective, or will the walks continue to haunt him? Is this a smart gamble for the Red Sox, or are they setting themselves up for disappointment? What kind of impact will he have on their playoff chances? I’m predicting a resurgence for Chapman in Boston. The change of scenery will do him good, and he’ll be a key piece in a playoff run. What do you think? Hot take or not?
