According to a report by Jeff Passan, the Diamondbacks and Reds are talking about the transfer of pitcher Aroldis Chapman. The Reds are aiming high for an asking price, but according to several of Passan's sources, there is interest between the two squads. (Jeff Passan)
Fantasy Impact:
The Diamondbacks are eight games out of the division and 7.5 outside of the wild card. Adding Chapman, who currently sports a 1.73 ERA over 42 appearances and 74 strikeouts during an All-Star season, would be a huge pickup for the D-Backs, and for fantasy owners would essentially guarantee that Chapman would see immense amounts of game time down the stretch.
