Cubs Rumors: Could Chicago pursue Padres’ Will Venable?

A recent Bruce Levine report linked the two teams through right-hander Ian Kennedy, who is said to be available ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.

When I was driving home this afternoon, MLB Network Radio said that outfielder Will Venable would be valuable to multiple teams, mentioning the Cubs specifically.

But, if you ask me – we don’t need another Chris Coghlan.

Coghlan has value, no-doubt. But there’s not a single reason the team should go add a player who, in most regards, is identical to him.
