The Chicago Cubs reportedly offered Kyle Schwarber to the Detroit Tigers in a potential trade for Michael Fulmer.

According to MLB Roundup's Twitter, Chicago called Detroit about their All-Star pitcher and dangled their World Series hero and power hitting outfielder in the process.

The site cited an interview on MLB Radio which had a discussion with Jim Bowden based around the fact that Schwarber was the one being dangled for Fulmer, and also said the Cubs were not interested in the likes of Justin Verlander, but rather younger pitchers like Fulmer and Daniel Norris.

Would Detroit do this deal? Unlikely, considering Fulmer is a pitcher on the rise while Schwarber is a career .207 hitter who has seen struggles in 2017 land him in Triple-A. His status as a bigger name young starter, however, is likely what the team would be eying as a starting point if they did decide to dangle Fulmer.

The likelihood of a Fulmer deal remains low, but it's certainly interesting to note, indeed.
