Aroldis Chapman is a Cub.
That is his right to be.
But what he said, what Joe Maddon said and what USA Today writer Bob Nightengale wrote shows why Domestic Violence is not going away anytime soon as long as people continue to belittle it.

Robin Ventura has been White Sox manager longer than many Presidents have been in office. Yet despite being in charge of a losing team coming apart at the seams, he is still employed.
Meanwhile I am not happy with the Cubs looking to deal for Aroldis Chapman because of his domestic violence past.

Not a lot of great pitchers are available.
Zack Greinke is a great pitcher.
The Diamondbacks are going nowhere.
By the time they are contenders, Zack Greinke will probably no longer an ace and his contract will be an unbelievable burden on the Diamondbacks.
See where I am taking this? Time to shop Greinke while his injuries are minor.
