Moving Chapman, and receiving young controllable talent, is the Reds' top offseason priority. The Winter Meetings, which formally begin Monday at the Opryland Hotel, are a good place to get deals done, with all 30 clubs assembled under one roof.
Chapman, who will turn 28 on Feb. 28, has compiled a 2.17 career ERA and 146 saves in 164 chances with 546 strikeouts in 319 innings during his six seasons in Cincinnati. He can be a free agent following the 2016 season.
After he earned $8.05 million in 2015, Chapman is projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to get $12.
