Cubs Rumors: Former rival keeps popping up as deadline target
Arizona Diamondbacks v Los Angeles Angels | Ric Tapia/GettyImagesWith the increasing likelihood that the Chicago Cubs are in the market for finding a replacement for Matt Shaw as the starting third baseman for the remainder of this season, it stands to reason that when a third baseman hits the trade market, chances are that a connection will be drawn to the Cubs. That could be one way to describe the rumor involving Yoán Moncada.
Yoan Moncada continues to draw interest from multiple MLB teams ahead of the Trade Deadline, according to industry sources.
Moncada, 30, will be a free agent at the end of the season.
The Yankees, Cubs, Brewers, and Mariners could be among the top contenders.
