The Chicago Cubs have added Aroldis Chapman for their push toward a World Series, acquiring the flame-throwing closer in a blockbuster trade with the New York Yankees.
The team announced the trade Monday, saying that Chapman is expected to National League-leading Cubs for their game Tuesday against the cross-town rival White Sox.
The Yankees received a four-player package, headlined by top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres, in exchange for Chapman, who was suspended for the first 30 games of this season under baseball's domestic violence policy.
The Yankees also will receive pitcher Adam Warren, minor league outfielder Billy McKinney and an unidentified fourth player, according to FanRag Sports and Stark.
