The New York Yankees have reportedly acquired closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, landing the four-time All-Star who is currently being investigated by Major League Baseball for his reported involvement in a domestic incident in October.
In exchange for Chapman, who is facing a potential suspension under the league's new domestic violence policy, the Yankees will send four minor leaguers to Cincinnati, according to Jack Curry of YES Network.
Chapman, the Cuban left-hander armed with baseball's best fastball, was expected to be dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this month, but the trade collapsed after a police report obtained by Yahoo Sports detailed an ugly domestic incident in which he allegedly choked his girlfriend and fired eight gunshots in the garage of his Miami home.
