Shannon Stewart was claimed off waivers by the Cubs, according to a high-placed major-league source.
"I heard something like that," Stewart said before flying with the A's to Detroit. "I really don't know what to say about it. I like the guys here. I like the team here."
The A's can either negotiate a trade with the Cubs or pull back Stewart from the waiver wire.
