Ender Inciarte may not get a chance to for his new club, the Atlanta Braves, after coming over in a trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks as a part of the Shelby Miller deal.

According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Cubs are one of several teams inquiring about the young outfielder. 

To obtain Inciarte from the Braves, the Cubs may consider giving up Jorge Soler or even Javier Baez. He could also be brought to the North Side for a player of lesser value, such as Jeimer Candelario, who hit well in the Arizona Fall League.

Should Chicago be able to land the outfielder, he would likely be asked to play centerfield with Jason Heyward playing in right, with Kyle Schwarber in left. 

Inciarte is enticing to a team with a lot of up-and-coming talent such as the Cubs. He is under club control for the next five seasons along with being the eighth-toughest player to strike out in the majors in 2015.
