The Chicago Cubs are in agreement with former Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Trevor Williams on a one-year deal, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
The Cubs, who also agreed to a one-year deal with right-hander Kohl Stewart this week, are looking to bolster a pitching staff that lost Jon Lester, Yu Darvish, Tyler Chatwood and Jose Quintana in free agency this offseason.
Williams, 28, struggled in the pandemic-shortened season last year, going 2-8 with a 6.18 ERA while giving up the most home runs (15) in the majors.
