## Resource

The Red Sox are in a bind with Aroldis Chapman—elite closer, nine-time All-Star, but with a contract that locks in $13M next season if he throws 40 innings. Even if Boston’s playoff hopes are alive, they might trade him before the deadline, capitalizing on his peak trade value while acquiring young talent. His numbers dip slightly from last year, but he still dominates with 100 mph stuff and a 2.20 ERA. With Garrett Whitlock ready to close, the Sox face a tough call: win now or build for the future. Chapman’s future is far from certain, and fans should watch closely as the deadline nears. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
