Dbacks going after Chapman?

[Iceman]

Dbacks showing interest in the the closer Chapman. Would LOVE to have a closer that can throw 104 from the leftside to close out games. Ziegler has done a great job filling in, but he is more of a set up guy. Hopefully we can see Chapman in a Dbacks uniform by Friday

I'd love to have hint if it was long term, but his contract is up at the end of this season. Arbitration next year

 

[az jam]

What prospects would they have to give up to get him??

Agree

That's the kicker too. The Reds would want something big in return

Ziggy has been adequite. I dont see closer as being a huge concern. The Dbacks dont even get that many save ops.

Agreed - don't want to give up much for him

While trades are exciting, nervous about this one. Chapman is awesome, but I think its too soon to go after a piece like this.

Dbacks have made a proposal for Chapman

lol. you can't be serious?

it's not just who's closing, it's everyone behind him too. if chapman is closing then zeigler is in the 8th. guess what both innings are locked down now instead of just the 9th

exactly. especially since he is only controllable thru next year.

Reds definitely selling. Leake to Giants.

According to twitter the odd man out is Tim Hudson.

For 2 prospects, notably their top prospect in Mella but he isn't really anything to write home about. He's considered a mid rotation / bullpen type.

Man I hope ARZ doesn't overpay for Chapman. Trade for Kimbrel and just take on his contract to lower the prospect cost.

Yankees and Astros are hot after Kimbrel

That is too much, IMHO

Yeah that is WAY TOO MUCH. Seriously, if this happens TLR & DS are full of crap and no different than KT. KT might end up on the winning side of a deal for once at our expense. How ironic would that be?

Shipley PLUS 2 top 10 prospects?? Man, I would love to have Chapman especially since it now sounds like it would be contingent on him being willing to extend his deal, but that is a HIGH price. I could see Shipley and 1 prospect, but TWO, I don't know how I feel about that.

On the bright side, think about what our bullpen would look like with Ziggy in the 8th and Chapman in the 9th, BEASTLY!

If we're making a move like this that means we'll likely be all in for an ace in the offseason. Imagine a rotation of whoever that ace is with Corbin as the #2 and Bradley #3. With our offense, that staff and bullpen we could compete with anyone.

Very un-D'Back like move making the responsible decision here. Good job!

Totally agree, like keeping our young players.

Good, spend the $$$$ in the offseason. They better spend with the bank they're making off the TV deal and cutting of salary plus being out from all the deferred contracts of the past.

Ace, closer and maybe another SP if Bradley, Ray, De La Rosa or Hellickson tank.
