Cincinnati Reds president of baseball operations Walt Jocketty says a proposed trade to send Aroldis Chapman to the Los Angeles Dodgers is not being held up because of domestic violence allegations made against the All-Star closer, but admitted the blockbuster deal could take weeks to complete.

The apparent deal was said to be agreed upon earlier Monday but stalled during the afternoon amid reports that the two sides were working on a potential trade involving more teams and players.

Hours later, a police report obtained by Yahoo Sports showed that Chapman admitted to firing eight gunshots in the garage of his Davie, Fla., residence during an incident in October, in which he allegedly "choked" his girlfriend and pushed her up against a wall.

"The trade is still possible," Jocketty told reporters at the winter meetings in Nashville. "We've talked to several clubs. I've notified them all (Monday) that we will step back for a couple of weeks or whatever it takes. They were fine. This actually came up the last 24 hours. That's not what held up the trade. We just weren't able to complete it as fast as we wanted to."

Though Chapman was not charged in the alleged incident, Major League Baseball announced it is investigating the matter under its new domestic violence policy.

ESPN's Buster Olney reported Tuesday that the Dodgers remain undecided on how to proceed with the proposed trade and could walk away from the deal altogether.

The Boston Red Sox, meanwhile, reportedly backed out of trade negotiations with the Reds in November, prior to acquiring Craig Kimbrel, when a background check revealed the alleged domestic incident, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe.
