According to a Major League source close to AOL FanHouse’s Ed Price and confirmed by a source close to FOXSports’ Ken Rosenthal, the Chicago Cubs have interest in former Cy Young Award winner Brandon Webb. Price speculates that any deal would likely be incentive-laden.

Price’s source says the Cubs have been in talks with Webb’s agent, Jonathan Maurer.

Earlier this month, ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick said that multiple teams had interest in the right-handed pitcher. Team interested at the time included the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Minnesota Twins, and Texas Rangers. Crasnick added that one should not rule out the Washington Nationals, Cincinnati Reds or the St. Louis Cardinals.

Previous reports indicate that there’s a mutual interest between Webb and the Nationals since the team’s GM, Mike Rizzo, was the one who originally drafted Webb in 2000.

The 2006 Cy Young Award winner has only pitched once in the last two seasons after suffering a shoulder injury late in Spring Training in 2009.  Maurer said earlier this month that he would seek a contract in the $7.5 million range this winter.
