CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a one-year contract with right-handed reliever Jacob Webb with a club option for 2027, according to a person familiar with the deal.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the contract was pending a physical.
The 32-year-old Webb became a free agent last month when the Texas Rangers did not offer him a contract through arbitration. He went 5-4 with a 3.00 ERA in 55 appearances in his lone season with the Rangers.
Webb is 17-14 with a 2.99 ERA in six big-league seasons with Atlanta, the Los Angeles Angels, Baltimore and Texas. He won a World Series with the Braves in 2021.
The Cubs reached the postseason last season for the first time since 2020 and have spent part of the offseason rebuilding their bullpen.
Brad Keller and Drew Pomeranz departed in free agency, but Chicago re-signed left-hander Caleb Thielbar to a $4.5 million, one-year contract earlier this month.
The Cubs also added left-hander Hoby Milner on a one-year deal and signed right-hander Phil Maton to a two-year deal.
