DECEMBER 14: The deal is for $6MM, per ESPNChicago.com’s Jesse Rogers (via Twitter).
DECEMBER 8: Righty reliever Koji Uehara has agreed to a one-year deal with the Cubs. Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald first tweeted the connection; Jon Heyman of Fan Rag tweeted that a deal was done. A report from Nikkan Sports in Japan indicates that Uehara and the Cubs have struck a deal for around $4.5MM, though the precise dollar amount remains in question.
At last check, the Red Sox had been set to move on from Uehara — as Alex Speier of WEEI.
