Reliever Aroldis Chapman says he would require an apology from New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman before entertaining a potential return to the team. Multiple reports describe Chapman as still holding a grudge stemming from how his second stint with the Yankees ended. Yahoo Sports reports that Chapman told ESPN Deportes that Cashman should “apologize first” before Chapman would consider a trade back to the Bronx. The New York Post similarly reports that Chapman wants an apology before any Yankees reunion, adding that his last appearance for New York came in the third-to-last regular-season game of the 2022 season. Newsweek also frames the comments as Chapman seeking an apology from Cashman, indicating the issue remains unresolved. While the reports agree on Chapman’s demand, they do not confirm any specific timeline, details of negotiations, or whether a reunion is actively being pursued. Overall, the accounts present Chapman’s position: he remains open to the idea of joining the Yankees only if Cashman addresses the matter through an apology first.
