After a rough start with reporters in Chicago, the Cubs are mulling a new translator for Aroldis Chapman.
The Cuban left-hander doesn't speak English.
"It's difficult where we really haven't built a relationship with this guy," Joe Maddon said. "I know there has been some reticence or pushback regarding him to this point; however, understand where he's coming from right now. He doesn't know us, and he really doesn't know the language, so my best advice is to continue to build a relationship."
Chapman and interpreter/coach Henry Blanco came under criticism Monday after the pitcher flubbed his introductory news conference.
On Tuesday, Chapman initially refused to speak with the media after his debut on the mound with his new team. Chapman eventually relented; catcher Miguel Montero translated for him.
