What type of contract do you think he will get and what team do you think will sign him?
I would guess the best bet is on the Red Sox or Yankees.
Who?
Aroldis Chapman
LOL what!?!? All thirty teams have an equal chance to sign him. There's no inequality or any advantages for some teams over the others. The Marlins will get him probably.Quote:

From the article:
Given the information in bold, I'd say that the Yankees or Red Sox have the best chance. He's not going to go to some team like KC or Houston with no hope of winning a World Series and no chance of paying him the big bucks: he's going to go to a big-market city with a chance to win plenty of World Series'Quote:
"We chose Andorra because of its tranquility, its tax benefits for Aroldis, and also being a commercial mecca of sorts, particularly for its size," Edwin Mejia, Chapman's agent, wrote in an e-mail. "We felt that it could translate to unique marketing opportunities for Aroldis in Europe.
"Andorra is a winter playground for the wealthy and powerful residents of Europe, of which, God willing, Aroldis will be as well. Given all our options it became the perfect choice. He even has health insurance, life insurance, and a pension all before he even signs his first major league contract. We are very proud of this."

I have actually never heard of him, can someone give me some back story?
Really? Common. They talked about him like crazy all year and during the WBC.Quote:

i'd like to get some back story from that chick in the middle
ah, Boston, had I known you had more hot dark women, i might've stayed
does he have an extra finger, or is just an illusion?
It's an illusion. His thumb is bent back, that's one. Than, his pointer finger...the little nub next to that is the top of his thumb. He has his middle finger and ring finger crossed...then his pinky.Quote:
