Cubs manager Dale Sveum says the team's interest in free-agent slugger Prince Fielder has been overblown.
"At this point it's a lot of media talk," Sveum said. "We haven't had any talks with Prince. I haven't had any conversations. Again it's a lot of media talk."
However, the Cubs remain involved in conversations with Fielder's agent Scott Boras, according to a source familiar with the talks.
Fielder batted .299 with 38 home runs and 120 RBIs in helping the Brewers win the NL Central this season.
