Depending on which reports you read, the Cubs are either one of the favorites to land Prince Fielder or they're not ready to spend big bucks at the moment, making their alleged interest in the slugger merely a "smokescreen." As we continue to wait for further development of the Fielder market, we'll collect today's rumors here, with the newest updates at the top:
- The Cubs have interest in Anthony Rizzo, and acquiring the 22-year-old as a less expensive first baseman of the future would almost certainly take them out of the running for Fielder. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that even if the Cubs aren't involved, there are five or six clubs in on Fielder.
