2:08PM: Harvey’s deal is a one-year pact, as per Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
1:03PM: The Cubs and right-hander Hunter Harvey have agreed to a contract, according to The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Sahadev Sharma. The deal will become official once Harvey (a Beverly Hills Sports Council client) passes a physical.
Harvey is looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued 2025 season that saw the reliever make just 12 appearances out of the Royals bullpen. A teres major strain in early April kept Harvey out of action until late July, and he pitched in just six more games before being sidelined for good by a Grade 2 adductor strain.
