The Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan reports that the Cubs "won't include [Carlos] Zambrano in any trade." No source is cited. That puts the Cubs behind the Red Sox, according to Sullivan, in the quest to acquire Miguel Tejada from the Baltimore Orioles. Again, no source cited.

Also, reports Sullivan, the Cubs are likely to invite Marquis Grissom to spring training. Yes, no source cited, but that certainly sounds plausible.
