The Cubs continue to hear from teams interested in left-handed starter Tom Gorzelanny.

The Washington Nationals are the latest to showing interest, according to a major-league source. The New York Mets and Baltimore Orioles have been said to be interested as well.

The Cubs may trade Gorzelanny because his 2011 salary will land around $2 million through the arbitration process. The Cubs are strapped for payroll after trading for Tampa right-hander Matt Garza, who will make between $5-6 million next season through arbitration.
