The Washington Nationals are in pursuit of Aroldis Chapman.
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports in his Sunday Notes piece the Nats, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers want the closer. Cafardo does not say whether the Chicago Cubs—where Chapman helped pitch to a World Series—will join the chase.
Washington is without an established closer as Mark Melancon is also a free agent. No word if the trade deadline pickup and the Nationals are talking.
Chapman, considered the best closer of this generation, would be quite the score for Washington.
