The?New York Yankees?have told teams they are close to making a trade that would ship out closer Aroldis Chapman, according to multiple reports.The Yankees, meanwhile, are planning to retain left-handed reliever?Andrew Miller, according to reports.Reports indicate that the Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Cleveland Indians are among the teams interested in acquiring Chapman.Theres a lot of rumors and stuff out there right now, Chapman said Sunday through an interpreter. I dont have any information but my agent did say that theyre talking to him, but thats all I have.There is no immediate timetable for a Chapman trade, though any deal would presumably need to be completed by the Aug. 1 trade deadline.Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Chapman, Miller and fellow star reliever Dellin Betances were not available to pitch in Sundays 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Chapman, Miller and Betances had appeared in each of the Yankees past two games. Chapman threw 36 pitches over two innings in Saturdays extra-innings loss to San Francisco.Responding to a question about the Chapman reports, Girardi said Sunday that part of his job is to help players who could be traded ignore the chatter.Obviously youre going to hear a lot of things probably over the next week, and a lot of it still depends on how we do, and what weve told the players is you have to block the noise out because theres going to be discussions and speculation throughout, Girardi said.Chapman said hes not worried about a potential change of scenery.I dont think about that stuff. I just concentrate on my job, Chapman said. When I go out there to pitch, thats what I need to focus on.Known for a fastball that can reach 105 mph, Chapman was suspended for the first 30 games of the season under Major League Baseballs domestic violence policy for his involvement in an alleged incident in October.Before the suspension was handed down, the Cuban-born lefty was acquired by the Yankees in January from the?Cincinnati Reds?in exchange for four minor leaguers. The 28-year-old, seven-year veteran has 20 saves with a 2.01 ERA, 44 strikeouts and 0.89 WHIP this season. He agreed to a one-year contract for $11.325 million in February to avoid salary arbitration.?Even if he is traded, Chapman said hed be happy to return to the Bronx as a free agent.Oh yeah. If theres a possibility, God willing, yes, Chapman said.The Yankees are 7? games back in the American League East behind the division-leading?Baltimore Orioles?and 4? games behind the?Toronto Blue Jays?for the second wild-card berth.The only thing we can control is wins and losses down here in this clubhouse, and thats what we have to worry about, Girardi said. We dont want to be broken up. We want a chance to fight and fight and fight. But we need to play better is the bottom line.Miller, 31, has a 1.45 ERA with 74 strikeouts and a 0.76 WHIP.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants want to make sure Madison Bumgarner never goes elsewhere.San Francisco general manager Bobby Evans spoke with Bumgarner and reached out to the ace left-handers representatives to let them all know the Giants are ready to begin discussions on a new contract whenever they are.Bumgarner signed a $35.56 million, six-year deal through 2017 that includes $12 million club options for the 2018 and 2019 seasons.We want to make sure Madison is here for the long haul, Evans said Thursday. Well certainly be available when theyre ready to talk. We continue to exchange volleys. Were ready when theyre ready. Ive even talked to Madison. Were very clear.MadBum pitched a four-hitter in a 3-0 road win against the Mets in the wild-card game last week to continue his October dominance, then had a no-decision in Monday nights 6-5, 13-inning Game 3 victory against the Cubs. Chicago eliminated the Giants the next night.The 27-year-old left-hander 15-9 with a 2.74 ERA this season. Two years ago, his spectacular postseason instantly put him right up with the best ever in October. He tossed 270 innings, including 21 with two wins and a save in a World Series that went to Game 7 against the Royals.His value to the Giants, its sort of incalculable, CEO Larry Baer said, noting hes already fielding questions about when the pitcher will get a statue. Hes been a tremendous asset for us. Hes done historic things.The Giants like to keep their homegrown players around well into the future.In April, first baseman Brandon Belt received a $79 million, six-year contract that takes him through the 2021 season. Shortstop Brandon Crawford signed a $75 million, six-year contract last November through the 2021 season.I have spoken with Madisons agent about what the timing would be, Evans said. Again, this is a conversation Ive had with each of his representatives that hes had this year. Timing on that I cant speak to.While the sting of falling short was still felt by the brass two days later -- the Giants would have played a Game 5 on Thursday back at Wrigley Field -- a team that clinched the second wild card on the seasons final day was credited for sticking it out through a tough second half.The group still hates to lose as much as they like to win, and thats a powerful statement, said Brian Sabean, executive vice president of baseball operations.ddddddddddddManager Bruce Bochy insists his health is good and he is ready to get exploring out in the mountains this offseason and prepare to win another championship. He spent a night in a Miami hospital in August but insists he is strong and energized to improve at age 61.Nobody is hurting more than this team and myself that were not playing tonight with a chance to move on, Bochy said. Im hungry to get back to the World Series, win another one. I couldnt feel better to be honest.San Francisco is strongly considering promoting from within the organization to fill spots in left field -- with Jarrett Parker or Mac Williamson -- while Eduardo Nunez and Conor Gillaspie are likely to play third. Nunez, whose strained right hamstring limited him down the stretch and in the playoffs, is someone Evans likes on an everyday basis with his fire offensively and athletically and I think he did a really nice job defensively.Its important to value our internal options, Evans said, noting both third basemen are both very strong options for us at third. Thats most likely the direction well go.Finding a closer will be a top priority, with Evans saying he would explore every opportunity to make sure that no ninth inning goes unstaffed.Well find ways to improve our bullpen.
