The Chicago Cubs, looking to defend their World Series title, want to add depth to their starting rotation heading into the 2017 season.

They attempted to sign Tyson Ross before he landed with the Texas Rangers.

Last season, the Cubs saw five starters make 152 of the team's 162 starts and Jason Hammel (30 starts) has become a free agent.

Chicago could sign a free agent, make a trade or even enter with season with a solution in their sights.
