Aroldis Chapman, the 22-year-old pitching phenom from Cuba, has been chased after by several teams over the past few months. On Sunday morning, Jeff Passan reported that Chapman has agreed to sign a $30 million deal with an NL Central team, and the arrow seems to be pointing to the Cincinnati Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds were “going after him like crazy,” according to one source, and an agent who does not represent Chapman said he had signed with the Reds.
