Brandon Morrow, key part of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ post-season success and one of the top relievers on the free agent market, has reportedly agreed to a two year deal worth $10-11 million per year with a third year option with the Chicago Cubs. Reliever Luke Gregerson, meanwhile, has reportedly agreed to a two year, $11 million deal with the St. Louis Cardinals, with a third year option that is a club option at $5 million or vests at $6 million.
Morrow, 33, has pitched in relief the last three seasons after a checkered and injury-plagued run as a starting pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, who acquired the former first round pick (taken two picks before Clayton Kershaw) from the Seattle Mariners in eight years ago for Brandon League.
