In 2010, while playing for the Cincinnati Reds, relief man Aroldis Chapman threw a 105 mile per hour pitch. While debate surrounds the proposition that this was the fastest pitch ever, it was still exemplary of the gas that Chapman throws. A former political prisoner in Cuba, Chapman was traded from the Reds to the Yankees in 2015. After gaining All-Star nods in three of his seven seasons with the Yankees, Chapman signed a one-year contract with the Royals ahead of the 2023 season, and was traded to Texas at the trade deadline this year.

Following an eventful three seasons with the Boston Red Sox that included a World Series win, Damon went to the Yankees for 2006, causing a lot of consternation among fans in Boston.
