Aroldis Chapman fired gun, accused of choking girlfriend in domestic violence incident
- 8 years ago
An Oct. 30 incident between Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman and his girlfriend has put a proposed trade of Chapman to the Los Angeles Dodgers in limbo.
A source told ESPN's Buster Olney that the MLB investigation is not holding up the trade and that it's up to the teams as to how they want to proceed.
Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said Monday night that while the deal is not dead, it could take weeks to complete.
According to MLB's domestic violence policy, a violator could be subject to suspension or a fine at the discretion of commissioner Rob Manfred.
The Boston Globe reported Monday night that the Red Sox , prior to obtaining San Diego Padres closer Craig Kimbrel last month, had also been exploring a trade for Chapman, until a background check turned up the alleged domestic violence incident.
