You can chalk this one up under the ‘tell me something I don’t know’ category. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Chicago Cubs and free agent right-hander Alex Cobb are both interested in hammering something out this offseason.
Recently, Cobb appeared on MLB Network Radio and made comments that sure made it seem like this is pretty much a done deal as long as Chicago treats him fairly.
‘‘I don’t hide the fact that I have the most respect for [Cubs manager] Joe Maddon and what he did for me coming up as a player — not so much as a pitcher on the mound, but as a professional athlete and professional baseball player,’’ Cobb said during the radio interview.
