The Chicago Cubs are one of numerous teams to put in a bid on Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish, according to a major league source.

Darvish, 25, was posted by the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters earlier this week. Bidding closed Wednesday, and the Ham Fighters have until Tuesday to accept a bid.

The posting process allows major league teams to send a blind one-time-only bid to the Ham Fighters in order to be able to negotiate the contract exclusively with Darvish. If the bid is accepted, Major League Baseball will announce the team that won the bidding rights, and that club will have 30 days to agree to a contract.
