Well, this would be interesting, and I probably won’t have enough time before the deadline to analyze:
Hearing #Dodgers are talking about moving Alex Wood to #Cubs

The Dodgers just picked up Wood in their huge 13-player deal, but many thought that was just a precursor to them spinning Wood off in a deal for David Price. They didn’t get Price, so now maybe they’re shopping Wood.
Short version: he’s good, cost-controlled, Cubs should definitely want him.
UPDATE: Being discussed, yes. Longshot, yes:
Confirming: #Dodgers discussing Alex Wood to #Cubs, as first reported by @joelsherman1. “Sounds like a longshot,” one source said.

UPDATE 2: This also sounds like no on Wood:
At this point Cubs are down to smaller deal for reliever. 3-way deal strongly denied as ever existing

UPDATE 3: Rosenthal says nevermind on Cubs talking with Dodgers about Wood:
More on #Dodgers/Wood: Was NOT discussed with #Cubs. #Indians inquired on him in bigger deal.
