The Cubs and Mariners are nearing a deal that would send Vogelbach to Seattle in exchange for Mike Montgomery, Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan reports.

Vogelbach is the top DH prospect in the minors, so a trade to an AL club has been a long time coming. He has 16 homers and a .318/.425/.548 slash line in 365 plate appearances at Triple-A Iowa as a 23-year-old this season, and is essentially big league ready. The trade is not final, but owners who have a need at UTIL or first base should consider scooping up Vogelbach now, as he figures to spend the bulk of the rest of the season in the majors if this trade goes through.
