Aroldis Chapman Rolled up to Yankees Spring Training in a Ridiculous New Whip
By Brendan Balsamo
After signing a three-year, $48 million extension with the New York Yankees back in November, closer Aroldis Chapman has been using the extra cash with style in mind.
NJ.com's Brendan Kuty tweeted out a photo of the car Chapman pulled up to Spring Training 2020 in on Tuesday morning, and the fireballer rolled up in a souped-up Rolls Royce.
Chapman, the sixth-highest-paid player for one of the most well-stocked franchises in all of sports, is making $16 million per year, so you'd have already assumed he'd be driving something really nice. His Rolls Royce proved that.
Chapman has earned every penny he's getting this season, as in 2019, he pitched to a 2.21 ERA and a 1.105 WHIP with 37 saves, a total that ranked third in all of baseball.
Aroldis Chapman is just one piece in the powerhouse that the Yankees are hoping to be in 2020. Rolls Royce or not, Chapman is one of the top relievers in the game, and this year, he has a chance to help the Yankees win their first World Series since 2009.
