Aroldis Chapman wants a six-year deal and says the Chicago Cubs havent shown interest in bringing him back.Speaking to ESPNs Marly Rivera on the phone, Chapman said that the only thing he has asked for in negotiations is the term of his next deal.The only thing I have expressed that I would like is a six-year contract, the left-hander said. I know that doesnt mean that I will get it, but thats what I would like to sign. There are rumors out there that I requested $100 million, and thats not true at all. I believe that if you deserve something, you dont ask for it.Chapman has not had direct communications with teams yet.I have not had any meetings yet, he said. My agents are the ones working on that. I expect to have some meetings this week.Chapman, who routinely throws over 100 mph and who tied his own record last season by throwing a pitch 105 mph, doesnt think that one of those meetings will be with the Cubs.The Cubs have never expressed any interest in re-signing me, as far as I know, he said.The?New York Yankees?traded Chapman to the Cubs in July for a package of minor leaguers that featured shortstop Gleyber Torres. In 28 games after the trade, Chapman had a 1.01 ERA and 16 saves.In Game 7 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians, Chapman gave up three runs (two earned) in the eighth inning that tied the game, but he threw a scoreless ninth and the Cubs rallied in the 10th to win their first title in 108 years.Chapman, 28, spent the first six years of his career with the?Cincinnati Reds?before being traded to the Yankees in December 2015. The Yankees are rumored to be interested in Chapman, but the Miami Marlins are also thought to want to make a run at a premier closer.The attraction to him is we know he can pitch in New York and there is no draft pick attached, said Yankees GM Brian Cashman. Then it just comes down to money and terms. We will compete to a certain level and then well see if that is good enough. If it is not, that is why we are staying in contact with all of them.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- With two games left, coach Hue Jackson is considering any and all options to prevent the Cleveland Browns from matching the NFLs single-season record for futility.Everythings going to be on the table, Jackson said after the Browns fell to 0-14 following a 33-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. I think I owe these guys the best opportunity to win.And when Jackson says, everything, hes not ruling yet another potential change in quarterback after Robert Griffin III was inconsistent in making his second consecutive start.Everybody, Jackson said. Everybodys in play.Offense, defense, even special teams: Nothing went right once again for the bumbling Browns.LeSean McCoy had a season-best 153 yards rushing and scored twice in helping the Bills (7-7) keep their slim playoff hopes alive.The Browns have matched the second-worst start to a season, set by the 1976 Buccaneers and 1980 Saints. The 2008 Detroit Lions , meanwhile, are the NFLs only team to go without a win in a 16-game season.This is my career. This is my reputation and Im not going to back down from a challenge, said Jackson, who is in his first season with the Browns. This wasnt my dream by any stretch of the imagination. But Im not running from this.Cleveland has also lost 17 straight dating to last year, moving into a tie with the St. Louis Rams (2008-09) and Houston Oilers (1982-83) for the leagues sixth-longest skid. The Browns have gone a calendar year since their previous win, a 24-10 victory over San Francisco on Dec. 13, 2015.The Browns havent had a lead in 17-plus quarters, dating to a 7-6 edge in the third quarter of a 28-7 loss at Baltimore on Nov. 10The Bills are in jeopardy of extending the NFLs longest active playoff drought to 17 seasons, but stayed mathematically in the hunt when Denver (8-6) lost to New England.One consolation was backing up defensive tackle Marcell Dareus guaranteeing Buffalo wouldnt be the first team to lose to Cleveland this season.Coach Rex Ryan acknowledged being anxious.Youre nervous when you play and opponent like that because you definitely dont want to be the team that gets beat by them, Ryan said.That still doesnt clear up the uncertainty regarding questions of his job security beyond this season.I dont know what my future holds, Ryan said before looking ahead to Buffalo hosting Miami (9-5) on Saturday. I just know that Im going to get this team ready to play.The game against Cleveland was played before a sparse crowd, befitting of two enduring lengthy stretches of futility.The Browns havee enjoyed just one winning season since last making the playoffs in 2002.ddddddddddddcCoy broke the game open by scoring on 3- and 8-yard runs on consecutive possessions spanning the third and fourth quarters. His first came immediately after Griffin scored on an 18-yard run to cut Buffalos lead to 17-10 on Clevelands opening drive of the second half.We talked about going out there and dominating, McCoy said. Its a game we should win. Well, lets play like it.Mike Gillislee also scored on a 3-yard run to help Buffalo set a franchise record of scoring 27 TDs rushing this season. Thats one more than the mark set in 1975.Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor went 17 of 24 for 174 yards and a 19-yard touchdown pass to Charles Clay.Griffin finished 17 of 28 for 196 yards and was sacked five times.BAD START: The Browns opening drive went nowhere. Cleveland netted minus-8 yards offense, including an offensive holding penalty against Jonathan Cooper. Griffin couldnt even complete an easy pass over the middle to a wide-open Duke Johnson Jr. on third down.If that wasnt enough, Britton Colquitts punt hit teammate Briean Boddy-Calhoun in the back. Boddy-Calhoun then ran into Brandon Tate, even though the Bills returner had signaled a fair catch, leading to a 15-yard penalty against the Browns rookie.SCRAMBLING: Griffin scored on a nifty 18-yard run in which he was flushed from the pocket, outraced linebacker Jerry Hughes and had enough momentum to dive across the goal line after being hit by linebacker Preston Brown.Taylor showed off his scrambling abilities on the next drive. Avoiding a sack, he raced along the right sideline and tip-toed his way for a 28-yard gain to set up McCoys 3-yard touchdown run.ONE BUFFALO? Bills center Eric Wood took issue with anyone considering the team undergoing a top-to-bottom overhaul as the NHLs Buffalo Sabres recently did to stockpile high draft picks.This isnt like hockey were you scrap your franchise for a guy that you know is coming like an Eichel or McDavid, Wood told The Associated Press, referring to Buffalos Jack Eichel and Edmontons Connor McDavid, the top two picks in the 2015 draft.This is football. You can get a No. 1 draft pick, and the best guy on the board is a tackle that year, and a tackle doesnt change your franchise.Terry and Kim Pegula own both the Bills and Sabres.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
