Josh Naylor is being mentioned in trade rumors involving the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds - is there smoke to this hot stove fire?
I've been hearing some whispers about the Cubs checking in on the availability of Guardians first-baseman Josh Naylor. They liked him last offseason, would make sense if (when?) Bellinger is moved. Could put Seiya back in RF, put Naylor at DH.

First, let me be clear that there is no reason to believe that a Josh Naylor trade is close or even that a trade is likely to happen.
