Chapman to the Dodgers

[Hornsby]

I heard Peraza might be one of the guys...

MLB.com's Mark Sheldon says the trade sending Aroldis Chapman to the Dodgers has not been completed and other teams could still be in the mix for the star closer.
OK then. FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported Monday morning that Chapman had been dealt to Los Angeles, but there's been no word on the return package in the hours since and the Reds are apparently still accepting offers from clubs. Stay tuned.

Were the Dodgers in on O'Day? He's no Chapman but he's damn good and underrated and that wouldn't have rocked the boat at all, whereas who knows how Jansen will react to Chapman and vice versa.

O'day said he wanted to stay in the DC area where his wife works.

Not so fast -- deal being held up by domestic violence charges against Chapman

[joncarlos]

Cheery. And he may have injured his hand punching a car window.

Manfred is going to need to actually make a decision about these domestic violence charges that are piling up with no MLB action.

The problem is that there are no charges against Chapman, so the worst that could happen is that the Reds can't deal him. Which would suck for the Reds, but probably wouldn't impact Chapman at all.

Manfred has been pretty clear that he intends to take action in cases like this one... whether he actually can, or will, is yet to be determined.

I think that the players union will have a lot to say about that...it's not what it once was in the days of Fehr and Marvin Miller, but I think that Tony Clark is going to be a pretty formidable presence.

[Hornsby]

Tony Clark was the one who signed off on the current domestic violence policy that gives Manfred the powers he has.

The issue isn't if Manfred has powers or not, it's if there's any evidence to use them. And at this point it's a 4 way he said/she said, with NO apparent evidence of any injury to anyone. And I doubt very much if Clark would just go along with any discipline for an incident that happened over a month ago, had no charges, and had no real victim if the report is to be believed. This isn't a Ray Rice/Greg Hardy story...

[revo]

according to Heyman, the trade is dead.

[joncarlos]

So I assume the Reds knew about this beforehand, right? So were they trying to trade him before the news broke? Did they disclose this info to their potential trade partners? Assume their trade partners would find out about it when they did their due diligence?

[Bob Kohm]

Makes one wonder how much the Dodgers would be willign to send to NY for Miller or Betances...

[Sour Masher]

Rumors flying heavy that the Dodgers are making a push for Miller. Not sure what 3 years of Miller would cost in terms of prospects, though. His contract sure seems like a bargain right now, that's for sure.

Would Miller become the closer, or the set up man? I have Jansen on a guaranteed deal this year, and after losing Holland, I cringe to think Jansen is going to get pushed to the 8th.

I'd think the Yanks could get more of a return than what Chapman cost cause he's under control for three years, right? Did we ever learn what two prospects where going in that deal?
