Robert Sabo for NY Post<\/p>\n<p>Chapman, who struggled and lost his closer job that season, missed a mandatory workout ahead of the ALDS for what Boone said at the time was an unacceptable excuse. Cashman fined him for the absence, and the Yankees ultimately left him off the roster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, he wasn\u2019t at the workout,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI made the decision, based on a lot of things and thought, to leave him off because I thought that was the right thing to do at the time.

He wasn\u2019t there, and I made the decision that I didn\u2019t think it was best for him to come back at that point. He maintained that he was throwing and would be ready as the playoffs unfolded that year. But ultimately, I made that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As farfetched as a trade to the Yankees might be, Aroldis Chapman created a stir this week when&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266972,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[35539,12773,128,20,9,24,321,63,319,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-266971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-aaron-boone","tag-aroldis-chapman","tag-bronx","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-nyc","tag-sports","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
