THANK YOU. I got so tired of many of your peers claiming we really didn’t need Chapman with Rondon and Strop. As I wrote last week:

Rondon had 4 blown saves good for only an 81% success rate – ranking in dead middle of all relievers. By most rankings, Rondon was a tier 3 closer maybe fortunate enough to rank #13 in MLB but certainly no Familia or Chapman. And Strops inconsistency helps us to understand why Cubs relievers ranked 10th in the National League by WAR at -1.2.
