This is where I trust Theo and Joe. They’ve developed a purposeful culture at Wrigley and are experts at fostering relationships and goodwill. If that includes Chapman I am confident that this will continue.

An additional reason I like one of the Yankees’ closers is simply because they are lights-out. We have no one in the bullpen who is intimidating or makes you feel GREAT about them getting 3 or 4 outs. We need a closer like that.
