The Cubs have added Matthew Boyd to their rotation in their first big offseason move, agreeing to a $29 million, two-year contract with the veteran left-hander, sources confirmed to ESPN amid multiple reports.
Boyd, 33, can earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses over the two years. The agreement is subject to Boyd passing a physical.
Boyd signed with the Guardians in June. He made his season debut when he pitched 5⅓ innings of one-run ball against the Cubs on Aug. 13.
