Could Chicago Cubs Trade For Crosstown Slugger?
Briefly

USA Today's Bob Nightengale mentioned designated hitter Eloy Jimenez as someone that is expected to be moved, and the Cubs should absolutely be interested in him.
The good news on the front is that the advanced numbers suggest that he'll probably turn things around and find himself a bit closer to his career numbers of .273/.323/.481.
One of the biggest differences in his game is that he has almost completely abandoned the opposite field at the plate. The previous low for opposite field percentage in his career was 22.3%. This year it has tanked to just 8.6%.
Even if he doesn't reach the same percentages this season, a rental of a designated hitter wouldn't break the bank too much for a team who needs to take risks on offense.
