While the trade isn’t close to being done, these talks are pretty fluid and could happen relatively quickly. Washington acquiring Chapman would signal that they want to bolster their bullpen as they try to make a run at the playoffs.
While they already have Drew Storen, adding a guy like Chapman is never a bad idea.
