Former Chicago Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman is currently at David Ortiz's charity event in Punta Cana on Friday afternoon and said that he is open to returning to the World Series champions.

"Love to get back to Cubs, we are in negotiations, but not up to me," Chapman said according to MLB insider Ian Browne.

Chapman is looking for a five-year deal worth $100 million dollars from a ballclub according to multiple reports.
