Robert Murray reports that the Cubs are nearing a multi-year deal with reliever Shelby Miller.

Jesse Rogers of ESPN reports that the deal is a two-year, $2.5 million contract. Miller will likely be out for most, if not all, of 2026 following Tommy John surgery in October of last year. However, he was really impactful as a reliever last season, pitching to a 2.74 ERA in 46 innings for the Diamondbacks and Brewers. The multi-year deal would allow him to rehab with the Cubs this season and then be a factor in their bullpen in 2027.
