Ryan Spilborghs’ promotion could have ramifications. With Spilborghs set to receive a string of at-bats in center field, that has created uncertainty regarding the future of backups Willy Taveras and Scott Podsednik. The Cubs have created a working list of potential available left-handed bats, with Podsednik among several names being explored. Their interest will hinge largely on current center fielder Jim Edmonds’ performance. Podsednik was a catalyst on the White Sox team that won the 2005 World Series. The Cubs inquired about Podsednik as a free agent last winter. — Denver Post
