The Cubs have spent a lot of time on the phone recently with A's GM Billy Beane trying to pry away right-hander Rich Harden, according to a Chicago Sun-Times report on Monday.

Beane's in a tough spot. This season was supposed to be about rebuilding after dealing Dan Haren to the D'Backs and Nick Swisher to the White Sox for a combined nine prospects, including five starting pitchers. Then the A's, even after dropping two straight to the White Sox over the weekend, made a run in the watered-down AL West, sitting six games behind the fragile Angels.
