The Cubs and Tigers met on the field this week and one rumor has them connected off of it.
The Athletic’s Eno Sarris and Brittany Ghiroli reported Friday the Cubs and Tigers have “been in active” trade talks, which have included the Cubs asking Detroit about outfielder Cameron Maybin.
Maybin, 33, is hitting .256/.310/.436 in 13 games (39 at-bats) this season, including a 4-for-7 stretch against the Cubs this week. He’s spent all of his time defensively in right field this season but has experience playing left and center.
The Cubs have outfielders Jason Heyward, Ian Happ, Albert Almora Jr.
