According to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cubs have interest in free agent right-handers Brandon McCarthy and Shaun Marcum.
Following the model they used last offseason with Paul Maholm and David DeJesus, the Cubs are targeting buy-low types that they could sign to modest deals and potentially flip for prospects at the trade deadline next year. The Cubs have more money to spend this winter, but they figure to have plenty of competition for both pitchers.
