The rebuild continued for the Cincinnati Reds on Monday when the team announced the trade of Aroldis Chapman to the New York Yankees in exchange for four minor leaguers, despite a possible suspension looming for the flame-throwing closer after a domestic violence incident with his girlfriend in October.
In exchange for Chapman, the Reds received right-handed pitchers Rookie Davis and Caleb Cotham along with third baseman Eric Jagielo and second baseman Tony Renda.
Who are the prospects?
While the Reds didn’t get top-tier prospects from the Yankees, such as Aaron Judge, Jorge Mateo or Greg Bird, president of baseball operations Walt Jocketty was fortunate to get anything at all for Chapman.
