Brandon Morrow, the right-handed reliever who emerged as one of the Dodgers most reliable arms in the 2017 postseason, is close to signing a two-year agreement with the Chicago Cubs, according to people familiar with the situation.
The people requested anonymity because the contract was pending a physical, and Morrow dealt with a bevy of injuries before starring for the Dodgers in 2017. The contract will net Morrow between $10 million and $11 million a year, according to Fan Rag Sports.
Morrow joined the Dodgers on a minor-league contract in January. He opened the year with triple-A Oklahoma City.
