TransactionThe Cubs are signing reliever Hunter Harvey, reports The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Sahadev Sharma.
Chicago continues fortifying its bullpen with Harvey becoming the latest experience high-leverage arm entering the stable. The 31-year-old is more of a lottery ticket after being limited to just 12 appearances due to adductor and shoulder issues this past season with the Royals. He holds a strong 3.11 ERA — 3.16 FIP — and 26.8 percent strikeout rate across 185 innings since 2019. He projects as an impact late-inning arm for the Cubs, with the only real question being whether his health allows him to play a significant role.
