Neither Chicago team won the Aroldis Chapman sweepstakes, but unfortunately for him, Cincinnati did.  And you know what that means, don’t you?  Dusty Baker + Young Talented Arms = Trouble.  That formula has been proven again and again.  Thankfully we have The Onion to make up a hilarious fake story that rings a little too [...]
