Chapman, whose 2.45 ERA is his best since his 2019 season with the Yankees, emerged as a popular trade target this season on the struggling Royals.
Aroldis Chapman is on the move.
The Royals dealt Chapman to the Texas Rangers for left-handed pitcher Cole Ragans and 17-year-old outfielder Roni Cabrera,Chapman, whose 2.45 ERA is his best since his 2019 season with the Yankees, emerged as a popular trade target this season on the struggling Royals, who are 23-58 and have the second-worst record in the major leagues.
Texas, a breakout success this season, leads the AL West by five games and is moving to fortify its bullpen with this move, which is ranked 24th in the league with a 4.37 ERA. Chapman has authored a resurgent season with renewed elite fastball velocity — his average fastball speed of 99.6 mph is his best mark since 2017.
The lefty reliever, who only has two saves this year but has been dominant in a late-inning role, striking out 16.26 batters per nine innings, will likely compete for late-inning chances with Rangers reliever Will Smith, who has 14 saves and a 2.73 ERA.The Royals, who appear firmly out of contention for this season, optioned Ragans to Triple-A and assigned Cabrera to the Royals’ Dominican Summer League team.
