NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- On the day after allegations of domestic violence surfaced regarding Reds closer Aroldis Chapman, the ramifications of the report remained unclear.
Among the issues still to be determined are whether the four-time All-Star could still be traded by Cincinnati, whether Chapman will face discipline from Major League Baseball, and if that discipline might affect his free agency following the 2016 season.
In a police report filed Oct. 30 in Davie, Fla., Chapman's girlfriend told officers that the pitcher choked and pushed her against a wall during an argument at his home. The police report, which was first reported by Yahoo Sports on Monday, also alleges that Chapman fired eight gunshots inside the garage of his house.
