What a difference a month makes. After two winning months the Breakers finished 12-15 and have fallen to second place, two games behind the Texas Rangers.
After a decent start Aroldis Chapman has been declining steadily, and the Breakers decided to part ways with Chapman and released him from his contract. We wish him well if he chooses to join another team, but he's been struggling too much to let him take a spot in the bullpen.
