Aroldis Chapman is experiencing a renaissance in Boston. The Cuban pitcher, famous for his blazing fastball, has found new life with the Red Sox, and this season he's achieving something unprecedented in his Major League Baseball (MLB) career: total consistency from the bullpen.

Red Sox' Aroldis Chapman Makes WBC Announcement Amid Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After signing with the Boston Red Sox on a one-year, $10.75 million contract in 2024, former Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has found a career resurgence, pitching to a 1.55 ERA and notching 12 saves early in the season.

Another day, another new ninth-inning option for the Red Sox. Garrett Whitlock dominated Sunday, but that doesn't mean Aroldis Chapman is hurt.

Chapman earned a save against the Mariners on Monday, striking out all three batters he faced in one inning of work. Chapman had little trouble protecting a two-run lead in the ninth frame, as he fired 10 of 13 pitches for strikes and punched out Randy Arozarena,

This question hovered around the team as last year’s trade deadline approached, too. In 2024, a middling Red Sox team to start the year found its groove in June, going 21-14 from June 1 through July 14 to close out the first half. That convinced chief baseball officer Craig Breslow to buy.

Chapman pitched the final two games in New York over the weekend, saving both games, then went for a third straight day in the 10th inning of Monday’s loss to the Rays. He didn’t pitch Tuesday (Weissert got the save in that one) but closed out Wednesday’s win, then threw 14 pitches Friday. That was likely his limit entering Saturday.

From the moment Marcelo Mayer was drafted No. 4 overall in the 2021 MLB Draft, Red Sox fans have dreamed of how his sweet left-handed swing would play at Fenway Park. Wednesday evening, everyone got to see for themselves.
