Left-handed reliever Aroldis Chapman and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a one-year, $10.75 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESPN.
Boston sought left-handed help for its bullpen and lands the 36-year-old Chapman.
Chapman was once one of the hardest throwers in the league — routinely hitting triple digits. He’s a seven-time All-Star who has won the World Series with the Cubs and Rangers.
The Red Sox will be his seventh team as he heads into his 16th season in the league.
He spent last season with the Pirates, going 5-5 with a 3.75 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings. He had 14 saves, his most since he had 30 in 2021.
