Morosi changes his mind:

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi
Brad Ziegler trade to #Cubs is not close, according to a separate source. Sides have talked, but current status remains unclear. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Craig Misch said the Marlins where looking for IFA money and somebody to take all his remaining money, limiting the pool of teams.

And now, Morosi takes the middle ground...so he has his bases covered on Ziegler to the Cubs:

Further clarification on Brad Ziegler: #Cubs remain engaged with #Marlins, source says, but other teams are involved in the Ziegler talks. @MLBNetwork @MLB

The Chicago #Cubs definitely will acquire another pitcher today, likely a reliever, and #Marlins closer Brad Ziegler remains the most likely target as the two teams are engaged in talks

Cubs still pursuing starting and relief pitchers going down the wire. Epstein and Hoyer always look for difference making deadline deals . ( 16 Chapman - 17 Quintana -Wilson )

A few minutes ago, Padres beat writer Dennis Lin tweeted that the Cubs were scouting Stammen and Yates last night.

Gordo thinks that Blue Jays are where the Cubs are looking for bullpen help.

Tepera would be a pretty good target, but the Blue Jays’ rentals are pretty uninspiring.

You guys realize that with all these rumors and conjecture, if Reb were still here, his head would be exploding.

I think we know who to trust with not advancing fake crap.  I mean, this isn't CNN.

Rumors are fun, even less credible one can create some discussion.  Fun is ok for a message board.
