Cincinnati Reds – The Reds have announced that Aroldis Chapman will be their closer. Chapman said earlier in the spring that he’d prefer to close, and apparently Dusty Baker wanted to keep him in the bullpen. With both player and coach in the same corner, the higher-ups in the Reds organization that wanted Chapman to start eventually backed down, allowing the young Cuban to return to his 9th inning role. Jonathan Broxton’s value takes a huge hit. Hierarchy change: Aroldis Chapman to Closer,a Jonathan Broxton to Set-up, Sean Marshsall to 2nd in line.
