[Reds GM (Troy)]

Accept.

Did this to add a potential front of the rotation type starter in Biddle. Having good success in AA this year, and is relatively young. Also have a few targets in the draft, so I like the 2nd rounder. Chapman is an elite closer, but I usually do away with closers as they often fluctuate in performance.
