Aroldis Chapman's offseason goes from red, to blue and eventually pinstripes

Aroldis Chapman will wear the pinstriped uniform of the New York Yankees soon, but that isn't what many expected from him when the offseason began.

In December, the pitcher was in the midst of a trade deal that would send him from the Cincinnati Reds to the Los Angeles Dodgers before the year ended. The Dodgers would finally be getting deeper in a position that had held them back in the playoffs before. Then, on Dec. 7, the news broke about a domestic violence incident that had taken place with the Cuban closer's girlfriend back in October.
