In addition to shoring up the bullpen, the Cubs have been rumored to be looking at helping out the starting rotation, what with Yu Darvish out for an indefinite time and Tyler Chatwood still somewhat ineffective.
Here’s a rumor from earlier Tuesday:
#Cubs have talked to #Orioles about starting pitchers (Bundy, Gausman) as well as Britton, sources tell The Athletic. As of last night, did not seem as engaged on Britton as other clubs, according to one source. Again: Situation is fluid, subject to change.
