We now know why it was taking so long for Reds closer Aroldis Chapman’s reported trade to the Dodgers to go through.
That’s because Chapman is now under investigation by Major League Baseball following an Oct. 30 incident in which Chapman’s girlfriend accused him of choking her and pushing her against a wall following an argument, per a police report obtained by Yahoo Sports. Chapman also admitted to firing eight shots from a handgun into the garage wall of his home in Miami.
Chapman’s attorney has denied the allegations. Police declined to make arrests “due to conflicting stories and a lack of cooperation from all parties involved,” per the report obtained by Yahoo.
