Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman Gets Huge Contract Bonus for Finishing 4th in AL Reliever of the Year Vote

Aroldis Chapman made some money on Wednesday.

The Boston Red Sox closer received a $250,000 bonus after finishing fourth in the AL Reliever of the Year voting:

Chapman, 38, was also an All-Star in 2026 after finishing 3-4 with 35 saves, a 1.92 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 71 strikeouts in 51.2 innings. He signed a one-year extension with the Red Sox in Aug. 2025, taking him through the 2027 season, and that salary got bumped up a bit on Wednesday.
