A pair of American League officials told the New York Post that the Cubs are shopping pitcher Carlos Zambrano.
Zambrano has three-years and $53.75 million left on his contract.
The same officials say Zambrano, for comfort reasons, has no desire to waive his no-trade clause and leave Chicago.

The Cubs have signed outfielder Marlon Byrd to a three-year, $15 million deal.
Chicago hopes that Byrd can be their everyday center fielder.
Byrd is a disciple of hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo. Both were with the Rangers last season.
"[Jaramillo] was a big part of [signing in Chicago]," Byrd said. "I really enjoyed my last three years with Rudy. I'm very comfortable with him. He is the best in the business. We are especially close. It's going to be nice working with him the next three years."
