The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox are reportedly engaged in a bidding war for left-handed pitcher Griffin, with his market value increasing significantly, according to a report from Gameday Chitown on Saturday.
The Cubs and White Sox, both seeking to bolster their pitching staffs, have emerged as the primary suitors for the free-agent lefty. The competition between the crosstown rivals has driven up Griffin's asking price, though specific financial terms were not disclosed.
Griffin, a left-handed starter, has attracted interest from multiple clubs, but the two Chicago teams appear to be the most aggressive pursuers. The situation remains fluid as the offseason progresses.
