The Yankees are said to be moving hard on Craig Kimbrel. So a good way to read this is “Yankees sources telling reporters that they’re in on both Kimbrel and Chapman so as to play one side against the other”
The #Yankees are one of five teams aggressively pursuing #Reds Chapman to be their closer.

From a baseball perspective it’s the same analysis between Kimbrel and Champan, really. Lights out closers who strike out the world. Long term I suppose I’d rather have Chapman, but you really can’t go wrong either way.
