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.

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. He is under contract through 2018.Fox Sports first reported the Yankees plan to deal Chapman.Information from ESPNs Mike Mazzeo, Andrew Marchand and Buster Olney was used in this report.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Bolt vs. Gatlin II at the Olympics is off.Thats because of a tough break for Justin Gatlin, whose right ankle injury flared up only minutes before his 200-meter semifinal heat on Wednesday.Gatlin tweaked his ankle in training way back at the beginning of the season but, ironically, really aggravated the problem about a week later doing a TV commercial for the Olympics.It returned in Rio de Janeiro and dampened his hopes of a gold. It also cost him another showdown with Usain Bolt, who sailed through his heat and qualified for Thursdays final.Come off the turn, and felt pain in the last 20 meters, Gatlin said. I looked over and I tried to hold on as long as I could.Wasnt long enough.Looking good in his race heading out of the bend, the American got hauled in and finished third. He had to wait for the official times, and missed out on a spot in the final by one as the ninth-fastest runner.I look at it like this: There aare a lot of athletes who dont make it to one Olympics, Gatlin said.dddddddddddd Ive been to three in a span of 12 years.He has an Olympic title in the 100, too, from 2004, a silver from the Rio Games, and a bronze from London four years ago.This years Olympics were meant to be about Gatlin giving Bolt his sternest test, in both the 100 and 200.Now, Rio looks likely to be a turning point for the 34-year-old Gatlin. The years have slipped by and instead of chasing Bolt, hes aiming to be more like Kim Collins, the 40-year-old sprinter whos still running, and ran in Rio. With that kind of longevity, maybe Gatlin will make the 2020 Tokyo Games.From this point on Im taking it year by year, Gatlin said. Im going to come out as strong as I can for each year. Someone like a Kim Collins gives me inspiration for Tokyo. ' ' '
