The Chicago Cubs are looking to fortify their bullpen and have dispatched high-rankings scouts to watch the New York Yankees.
Chicago is specifically interested in adding a left-handed reliever.
With seven weeks before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, the Yankees are 31-32. It remains to be seen if New York will consider dealing Aroldis Chapman or Andrew Miller.
One major league source this past week said the Cubs have made it known they’re prepared to strike early to add pitching.
