No to Chapman.
Signing EE and forfeiting the pick means there's extra incentive to sign Jansen, but I doubt he'd want to be a set-up man in Boston, and they won't bump Kimbrel.
Ziegler walks (if he wants to) and Taz walks. I'd go after Brett Cecil, with Mike Dunn and Boone Logan as fallback plans. See if an NL team bites on Heath Hembree, maybe send him to Arizona for Daniel Hudson's final arbitration year. Otherwise he and Barnes are fairly redundant. Sign Ryan Webb or Jordan Walden to a minor league contract to see if they're healthy. I don't know what to do with Abad.
