Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo met with reporters at Nationals Winterfest on Saturday and touched on a number of topics:
— Rizzo said the Nationals have suspended any pursuit of Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. Major League Baseball is looking into domestic violence allegations against Chapman. A police report obtained by Yahoo! Sports said Chapman had fired gunshots in the garage of his home after arguing with his girlfriend. Chapman’s girlfriend also alleged he choked her. Chapman has denied the allegations, and no arrests were made. “It’s something that we’re not going to continue to go after until we find out what… with how things have happened,” Rizzo said.
