We’ve known the condition from the start as Chapmania.
It’s about to come to an end in Cincinnati. According to various sources, the Reds front office is aggressively shopping Aroldis Chapman at the GM meetings in Florida. The team’s closer of the last four years may be moved in the next 72 hours. There ought to be a countdown.
