Chicago Cubs, Drew Smyly reach 1-year contract
The Chicago Cubs have agreed with left-hander Drew Smyly on a one-year contract, the team announced Saturday.
The deal is worth $5.25 million and Smyly could earn another $2.5 million in bonuses, a source told ESPN's Jesse Rogers.
The Cubs also announced one-year agreements with infielder Jonathan Villar and left-hander Daniel Norris. The Smyly and Villar deals include mutual options for the 2023 season.
Smyly, 32, won a World Series with the Atlanta Braves last season, when he went 11-4 with a 4.48 ERA in 29 appearances (23 starts). He pitched twice in the Braves' World Series victory over the Houston Astros, allowing three runs over four innings.
