Yankees considering designating Aroldis Chapman for assignment, per report

The New York Yankees are "at least contemplating" designating left-handed reliever Aroldis Chapman for assignment, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The Yankees' decision boils down to whether or not they think Chapman's mechanical woes can be corrected over the next week -- and then if they'd be willing to carry him on their postseason roster.

Sherman also suggests that the Yankees have no plan to bring Chapman, an impending free agent, back for next season.
