Cubs Rumors: Marcus Semien could be in play this offseason

One report suggest the Chicago Cubs could be in on infielder Marcus Semien.

Unless the Chicago Cubs are content with betting on Nico Hoerner at second base, the team has a need at second base. Last year, they pieced it together with Hoerner, David Bote and Jason Kipnis. The latter is, once again, a free agent – leaving just Bote and Hoerner to handle second and handle backup duties at several other positions.

But knowing the team’s self-imposted financial limitations, one wouldn’t think the Cubs would be connected to any legitimate infielders – at least not until they shed more payroll.
