ESPN.com reports that highly coveted Cuban left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman has an offer on the table from the Boston Red Sox for $15.5 million.  Chapman’s agent, Randy Hendricks, told teams that they are not accepting  offers at this point.  On Tuesday, the Cuban defector is scheduled to throw for teams at a workout in Houston.

Melissa Segura of SI.com reported in November that the Tigers, Orioles, Red Sox, White Sox, Cubs, Yankees, Mets, Athletics and Cardinals have expressed interest in the pitcher.

The 6′ 4″ Chapman defected from the Cuban national team on July 1, during a tournament in the Netherlands.  His fastball has been clocked at 102 MPH at the World Baseball Classic in 2009.  It is believed that Chapman will command more than the $32 million that the Yankees paid for Jose Contreras in 2002.
