Free-agent Cuban left-hander Aroldis Chapman met with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday and reportedly came away impressed with what he saw.The New York Yankees also are among the teams interested in pursuing Chapman, who some experts compare to hard-throwing right-hander Stephen Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in June's entry draft taken by the Washington Nationals. Chapman, whose fastball was clocked at 102 mph at the World Baseball Classic this year, defected from the Cuban national team in August during a tournament in the Netherlands.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. There is like 10 teams interested in him including the Yankees. It may come down to where he feels most comfortable at. The Red Sox did sign one of his teammates so that may play a part in it as well. You never really know how a player will choose to go.
