As first reported by Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Chicago Cubs have agreed to terms with free-agent left-hander Brett Anderson. The deal is for one year and $3.5 million, which could increase to $10 million, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. Anderson spent the 2016 season with the Dodgers, but spent most of the season on the disabled list and has only pitched in 65 games in the last five seasons.
Anderson, 28, is an interesting option for the Cubs. He has had his share of ups and downs over his eight-year big-league career but the downs have been mostly due to injuries.
