Hector Rondon is on board with the Chicago Cubs acquiring Aroldis Chapman and is willing to pitch in the seventh or eighth inning or "whenever" manager Joe Maddon wants him.

"I think it's good for our team," Rondon said. "He's one of the best relievers we have right now. I'm good with that. I know I did a really good job in my role.

"You have a chance to get that guy, better take it."

Maddon believes Chapman's presence "opens things up" for him in the back end of the pen. Rondon is still bound to get some save chances, but the Cubs didn't give up their No.1 prospect and other players to play the matchup game with Chapman.
