The New York Yankees have bolstered their already formidable bullpen when they acquired left-handed closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Chapman is a four-time All-Star with the Reds and the hardest thrower in the MLB as he clocks in at above 100 mph when he pitches his fastball.

The deal was first reported by Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports with the Yankees sending four minor league players to Cincinnati including potential No. 3 starter, right-hander Rookie Davis. New York will also be parting ways with former first-round pick and first baseman Eric Jagielo, second baseman Tony Renda and right-handed pitcher Caleb Cotham.

Davis is the prized prospect from the deal as Jagielo has struggled to stay healthy in his young career and both Rena and Cotham are viewed as deal fillers. The trade looks good for the Yankees as they did not part ways with any their prized prospects first baseman Greg Bird, outfielder Aaron Judge, shortstop Jorge Mateo and catcher Gary Sanchez.

Chapman was originally dealt by the Reds to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Dodgers halted the deal after news of a domestic violence was reported by Yahoo! Sports. The hard-throwing lefty allegedly fired eight gunshots in the garage of his Miami home after an argument with his girlfriend last October.

According to the police report, Chapman's girlfriend said the she was choked and pushed against the wall by the Cuban defector. The MLB has started an investigation about the incident and Chapman is facing a lengthy suspension which is still good news for the Yankees.

Teams soured on trading for Chapman as his market was not as hot before the domestic violence accusations. Joel Sherman of the New York Post noted that the Yankees are anticipating that the 27-year-old will be suspended, but the team could get an extra year of control as the player's MLB service time will not count the length of his suspension.

The Yankees will form a scary bullpen trio with Chapman, Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller as they were the top three relievers in the league in terms of strikeout rate. However, Rosenthal also reported that Cashman told the media after the trade that he is expecting calls for Miller.

Chapman had a great year as he had 33 saves in 36 chances with 1.63 ERA, 116 strikeouts and a 15.7 K per nine innings pitched, per Baseball Reference. He has a career record of 19-20 with a 2.17 ERA, 146 saves and 546 strikeouts in just 319 innings pitched.
