The Zac Gallen (Non-)Signing Just Got Even Funnier … He Has a Pretty Air-tight Alibi

A funny (and charmingly classic Bob Nightengale) story gets even funnier tonight. On Friday afternoon, Mark Feinsand reported that the Chicago Cubs have been “looking at” free agent starting pitcher Zac Gallen, a reasonable (and subsequently confirmed) baseball rumor ahead of the Winter Meetings.
