Aaron Boone: Yankees Don't Owe Aroldis Chapman Apology
Boone said the Yankees made the right call after Chapman missed a mandatory workout and were not owed an apology.
- New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday he sees no need to apologize to Boston pitcher Aroldis Chapman, who recently repeated his belief that the team owes him an apology for his 2022 exclusion.
- Chapman was excluded from New York's American League Divisional Series roster after missing a mandatory workout, though the eight-time All-Star maintains he was ready to pitch despite the team's decision.
- Boone defended the decision, stating: "I made the decision, based on a lot of things and thought, to leave him off because I thought that was the right thing to do for our club at the time."
- Beyond Boone, Chapman has stated that New York general manager Brian Cashman also owes him an apology; Chapman currently plays for the rival Red Sox with 13 saves this season.
- A veteran of seven teams since 2010, the two-time World Series champion holds 380 career saves, having won titles with the Chicago Cubs in 2016 and the Texas Rangers in 2023.
