The Chicago Cubs are trying to get into the Justin Wilson sweepstakes.

FOX MLB reporter Ken Rosenthal says the Cubs are “working hard” to get Wilson ahead of Monday’s trade deadline. The Dodgers, Nationals and Astros are all teams he mentions as other contenders for the Detroit Tigers reliever.

The 29-year-old is 3-4 with 13 saves this season. He holds a 2.68 ERA and very promising 0.94 WHIP, with 55 strikeouts in 40.1 innings for Detroit.

Some reports have said the Tigers could deal Wilson on Sunday. The Tigers already traded J.D. Martinez earlier this month and appear to be open to dealing more players as part of a potential rebuild. The Cubs could use some bullpen help and insurance in case Wade Davis leaves as a free agent after the year.
