With the MLB trade deadline less than a day away, it's felt like Shane Bieber was becoming an increasingly likely target for the Chicago Cubs. First mentioned as a suggested trade that Jeff Passan would like to see at the deadline, it seems that Bieber actually is on the Cubs' radar. Passan was first to add more context on Wednesday by offering a more direct connection between the Cubs and Bieber, suggesting the interest is real.
Perhaps not sourced information, but still relevant, as any rumor is before the Cubs start making moves, Bruce Levine seemed to confirm that the Cubs are indeed interested in Bieber.
