CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Cubs are "trying to trade" Edwin Jackson.

It won't be easy, as Jackson has posted a 5.22 ERA over 51 starts for the Cubs and is due about $26 million through the 2016 season. However, the right-hander is durable and has flashed upside in the past, so it's possible the Cubs might find a taker as long as they're willing to eat most of the contract. The Yankees have been mentioned as possible suitors of Jackson, though that might change now that they've acquired Chris Capuano.

Heyman reports the Cubs might be trying to trade Jackson, but then again they might just want to keep him. If a deal gets done, the Cubs will eat the contract to get a better prospect, or they could just settle for a scrub and let the other team pay Jackson. All of this could or could not happen.

If something happens with him, I'd guess its an August deal and he'd need to put together a few solid starts before anyone would remotely think about it.
