The Chicago Cubs are looking to bolster their pitching with offseason acquisitions, and they may need to look no further than neighboring Wisconsin native Jordan Zimmerman. The righty had a bit of a down year for the struggling Nationals this year after being a Cy Young candidate in 2014, posting a 13-10 record with a 3.66 ERA. The Cubs are willing to look past that stumble, however, in an attempt to add another proven right-hander to their rotation. But will they be able to look past the allegations that Zimmerman is a bit of a strange fellow with a drinking problem? Reports have surfaced that J Zim has been hitting the sauce a bit too much and behaving erratically in the clubhouse. One such rumor paints Zimmerman as a "serial pooper" who has been leaving his "number 2s" in teammates' lockers when nobody is looking and then laughing uncontrollably when the mystery deuces are found. Joe Maddon loves locker room antics as much as the next guy, but will he be able to tolerate such wild behavior? Stay tuned as we update this story...
