‘Cuban missile’ Chapman resurrected, Bae Ji-hwan and one pot meal

‘Cuban Missile’ Aroldis Chapman (36), once the best left-handed fireballer in the major league, will wear the uniform of Pittsburgh Pirates, the team belonging to Korean major leaguer Bae Ji-hwan (25).

MLB.com, the official Major League Baseball website, cited a source and reported, "Free agent reliever Chapman has agreed to a one-year contract worth $10.5 million (approximately KRW 14 billion) with Pittsburgh." The Pittsburgh team has not yet confirmed the contract, and Chapman's recruitment is expected to be officially announced once the results of the physical examination are released.

Chapman was once renowned as the best reliever in the major leagues. Chapman, who debuted with the Cincinnati Reds in 2010, played for the Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Kansas City Royals, and Texas Rangers, and pitched in 728 major league games until last year, recording 50 wins, 40 losses, 41 holds, 321 saves, and an ERA of 2.53.

In particular, Chapman became a hot topic by signing a five-year contract with the Yankees ahead of the 2017 season worth $86 million (approximately 114.6 billion won), the highest ever for a bullpen pitcher at the time. Chapman, who raised his stock price by winning the Mariano Rivera Award given to the best reliever in the American League (AL) by recording 3 wins, 2 losses, 37 saves, and an ERA of 2.21 in 60 games in 2019, has a two-year contract worth $30 million until 2021. In the remaining situation, he gave up his opt-out and signed an extension contract with the Yankees for an additional year and $18 million.
