The Chicago Cubs purportedly are seeking to snatch up one of the aces' from their cross town rival before the trade deadline.

Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga turned to look over his left shoulder at the video board showing the replay of the home run he just had given up in the fourth inning Friday.
