Dexter Fowler is still a free agent as spring training fast approaches.
Fowler, who will turn 30 in March, had one of his best seasons in 2015.
He will most likely have to settle for a one- or two-year deal and the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox continue to keep tabs on him.
"The Cubs are still the most likely landing spot for Fowler," a baseball executive said. "He should have taken the Cubs' qualifying offer and moved into the free agent class of 2017."
