Teams Reportedly Contacting the Cubs about LHP Travis Wood

Travis Wood is currently the longest tenured Cub, but that may not be the case by Opening Day.

According to a report from Bruce Levine, teams are showing interest in Travis Wood and he faces an uncertain future with the Cubs.

The depth the front office added to the rotation and bullpen this off-season has made Wood expendable. Plus, the Cubs could shed his $6.17 million salary for a more cost-effective lefty like Rex Brothers. The Cubs and Brothers avoided arbitration with a $1.42 million contract for the 2016 season.
