With reports out of Nashville that the Los Angeles Dodgers have moved on from their pursuit of Aroldis Chapman, the Cincinnati Reds are believed to be entertaining interest from another team looking to add a second All-Star closer to its roster.

The Washington Nationals, whose ninth-inning duties are currently being handled by right-hander Jonathan Papelbon, have significant interest in acquiring Chapman, a source tells Marly Rivera of ESPNDeportes.com.

Acquiring Chapman would reunite the embattled left-hander with new Nationals skipper Dusty Baker, who managed the hard-throwing Cuban for the first four years of his career. Baker came under fire Tuesday for defending Chapman against recent domestic violence allegations, and later clarified his remarks on MLB Network Radio.

Rivera's report comes on the heels of a tumultuous week for the Reds and Chapman, who's under investigation by Major League Baseball for allegedly choking and pushing his girlfriend during a domestic dispute involving a firearm in October.

A Davie Police Department report released Tuesday says there was ''insufficient evidence'' to charge Chapman in the Oct. 30 incident because of conflicting stories, no cooperating witnesses, and no physical injuries. On Wednesday, Florida prosecutors said they're re-examining the evidence from the case and charges are still possible.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Chapman, the Nationals are reportedly intent on reshuffling their beleaguered bullpen after Papelbon and set-up man Drew Storen found themselves in the middle of controversy at the end of Washington's disappointing season.

Papelbon was suspended for grabbing Bryce Harper's throat in the dugout - an incident that led to the union filing a grievance - while Storen missed the final few weeks of the season after slamming his locker and breaking his finger.
