## Resource

The Red Sox are in freefall, 12 games under .500, and president Sam Kennedy’s warning of a “pivot” hints at a potential teardown — with ace closer Aroldis Chapman at the center of the storm. Chapman, who’s been electric with a 0.46 ERA, is the team’s best weapon, but the offense can’t keep up. When asked about a possible trade — even to the Yankees — Chapman demanded an apology from GM Brian Cashman over their bitter 2022 breakup. He insists he still wants to play for Boston and sees a trade as a sign the team’s giving up — something they’d rather avoid. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
