Let’s go ahead and put it out there that this is a) not a brand-new report; and b) very much more smoke than fire right now. It’s been around for a little while and I wrote a little about it last week as well, but MLB.com’s Phil Rogers tweeted it Tuesday afternoon and put it back on the radar. My apologies to whomever was first on the reports of mutual interest between the Cubs and Giants, I only saw little snippets here and there.
“Giants have interest in Cubs’ Jason Heyward, with Jeff Samardzija and Mark Melancon to offer,” Rogers wrote.
