According to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, the Cubs are among the teams active in trade conversations for Shane Bieber and Tyler Glasnow. Both pitchers are entering their final year of control with their respective teams and have been connected to the Cubs with some degree of speculation for at least the last year. The Reds were also mentioned specifically, though Morosi’s wording indicates other teams are involved.

The cost to acquire Glasnow figures to be lower due to his $25 million salary and checkered injury history, though Bieber has some red flags of his own even if he’s only projected to earn $12.
