Aroldis Chapman, an eight-time All-Star closer for the Boston Red Sox, is expected to be a highly sought-after player at the upcoming MLB trade deadline. According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, Chapman is likely to join his eighth different team and potentially compete in the postseason with his sixth team. The 38-year-old has been exceptional in the bullpen, boasting a 0.46 ERA across 20 appearances in 2026 and converting 28 consecutive saves, just one shy of his personal best. With the Red Sox struggling at the bottom of the American League East with a 27-35 record, trading Chapman could be a strategic move to acquire valuable prospects. The current market for relief pitchers is competitive, and with few big-name options available, Chapman’s status as the top reliever could command a significant return for Boston. The trade landscape will be further shaped by team performances over the coming weeks, determining which teams will be buyers or sellers in the market for relief pitching.
