Dusty Baker doesn't know if Aroldis Chapman will start or close for the Reds this season, but he hopes to find out soon.

"I'd like to decide soon and get my team together," Baker said. "I don't like having guys in the middle, because that's a bad situation when you're in the middle of anything, an unknown. Then everyone else is in an unknown situation. I don't think that's fair to him or us."

It is an organizational decision in which Baker will certainly have input. However, he has made it known that he'd prefer to have Chapman close games.
