The Chicago Cubs have their sights set on one of the top free-agent pitchers as they look to improve their rotation before next season.
Chicago is targeting right-hander Zac Gallen, sources told The Athletic's Patrick Mooney.
The 30-year-old is coming off an inconsistent campaign with the Arizona Diamondbacks where he posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in the first half before authoring a 3.97 ERA after the All-Star break.
