In an offseason when the Chicago White Sox were expected to be the main story in the city, it was the team on the North Side that made the biggest splash ... so far. The Chicago Cubs reportedly agreed to a three-year, $71 million deal with pitcher Marcus Stroman, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The deal contains an opt-out after the second season. Stroman will make $25 million per season in 2022 and 2023. He can opt out following the 2023 season, or return to the Cubs on a one-year, $21 million deal in 2024.
