GOODYEAR, Ariz. — The Cincinnati Reds opened spring training at their new facility in Goodyear, Arizona, with one of their newcomers getting much of the attention.
Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman worked out with the Reds for the first time on Thursday. The hard-throwing left-hander signed a six-year, $30.25 million deal with the Reds in January.
All 36 pitchers and catchers reported and had their first workout at the new facility, which is next to one that the Cleveland Indians moved into a year ago. The Reds had trained in Florida since 1923, except for a few years during World War II.
