Red Sox Fans Can Exhale After Aroldis Chapman Scare

That's not all, though. Red Sox star closer Aroldis Chapman was seen in the bullpen hugging members of the organization out there, which made some wonder if some sort of move was coming.

When the trade deadline is approaching, "hug watch" becomes a real thing. When you see guys in trade rumors get up in the middle of a game and start hugging his teammates, it's usually a sign of something going on. But in this case, there is nothing to worry about. Chapman obviously didn't get traded on Saturday night. He closed out the ninth inning for Boston and earned his 10th save of the season while lowering his season ERA to 0.57. He also made a game-saving play after getting hit with a comebacker to end it.

Tim Healey of The Boston Globe shared on X that Chapman hugging everyone down in the bullpen is simply something he does every game when he heads down to the bullpen.

"Closing the loop on the Aroldis Chapman hug thing: He apparently does this every day upon walking down to the bullpen," Healey wrote on X.

So, if you're a Boston fan who was reading into Chapman's hugs, don't worry about it. Also, he confirmed after the game that he's fine after getting hit with the comebacker.

So, it was an interesting night for Chapman, and the Red Sox in general, but everything is all good. Boston earned its 19th win of the season and now will go for the unexpected series win over the best team in baseball on Sunday afternoon against the Atlanta Braves with the red-hot Brayan Bello on the mound. Could this be the turning point for Boston?
