well, cliff floyd is not being pursued by anyone right now. most teams are starting to meet with agent of pitchers, so when they arrive at the winter meetings, they are not starting fresh. since floyd wants to come to the cubs, they are already past that point, but the cubs need to contact him. if the cubs are interested, expect to hear about late next week. floyd is also being purused by the a's (assuming piazza signs with the rangers), the orioles and possibly the phillies.
