Blake Snell rumors are flying. It’s hard to see how the Cubs could factor in.

The Chicago Cubs don’t know which way they are going. Are they going to blow it up or hang on for ‘one more’ hurrah with the core that’s fallen short in recent years. Regardless, the latest Blake Snell rumors out of Tampa Bay say the Rays are ‘open’ to trading the former Cy Young winner.

Snell turns 28 next week. Earlier this month, the Cubs declined the $25 million option on a southpaw of their own in Jon Lester, instead paying him a $10 million buyout.
