Report: Cubs in talks with Brandon Webb
Brandon Webb - S - Arizona Diamondbacks

The Cubs are in talks with free agent Brandon Webb, sources told AOL Fanhouse's Ed Price.
Webb has also drawn the eyes of the Nationals, Dodgers, Pirates, Twins and Rangers. A reunion with the Diamondbacks hasn't been ruled out, but it seems unlikely. The Cubs would be smart to gamble on a high-upside arm to go along with their current five-man rotation of Ryan Dempster, Carlos Zambrano, Randy Wells, Carlos Silva and Tom Gorzelanny. Webb hasn't pitched in a major league game since the start of 2009 and should come rather cheap.
