Like the Yankees weren’t already good enough?
The Yankees just made the move of the offseason Monday by acquiring closer Aroldis Chapman in a trade with the Reds.

Chapman was originally headed to the Dodgers — but the deal fell through last month after the 27-year-old star was accused of choking his girlfriend.
Chapman saved 146 games in 164 chances during the past six seasons with the Reds — earning a 1.63 ERA this year, while striking out 116 batters in 66 1/3 innings.
