All-Star closer Devin Williams was one of the New York Yankees' most high-profile offseason acquisitions, but his season so far has not gone as planned.

The New York Yankees' $86 million investment in All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman is being compared to a failed science project due to his inconsistent performance and off-field issues.

His performance has been marred by a lack of command and velocity, leading to questions about his effectiveness as a closer. Additionally, Chapman's off-field behavior, including a domestic violence incident in 2015, has further complicated his tenure with the Yankees.
