Allen Kee / ESPN Images(CHICAGO) — It appears the Chicago Cubs are close to landing Kansas City Royals closer Wade Davis.
ESPN reports the Cubs “moved to the verge of a deal” for Davis Tuesday night. Sources, however, told ESPN the move has not yet been finalized and both clubs still need to approve medical information.
While details of the proposed trade were not made available, a source told ESPN should it go through, Chicago may give up outfielder Jorge Soler in exchange.
Davis, 31, has a career 3.53 ERA with 47 saves and 689 strikeouts. This past season, he had a 1.87 ERA, 27 saves and 47 strikeouts.
