Cubs to Sign Shelby Miller to Multi-Year Contract
The Chicago Cubs are finalizing a multi-year guaranteed major-league deal with free-agent right-handed reliever Shelby Miller (elbow), sources told Robert Murray of FanSided.com. Miller only pitched in 11 games last year for the Milwaukee Brewers after they acquired him in a midseason trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks before tearing the UCL in his right elbow and having Tommy John surgery. The Cubs will be hoping that the 35-year-old can successfully return in 2027 and provide a quality bullpen arm for them. Before his elbow injury, Miller was solid for Arizona in 37 relief appearances, recording an ERA under 2.00 with a 0.96 WHIP, a career-high 10 saves, 40 strikeouts, and 11 walks in 36 1/3 innings pitched. Miller has been a high-end relief arm during his 13 seasons in the majors, posting a 4.04 career ERA with 789 strikeouts in 921 2/3 innings with nine different teams. He obviously won't be in the mix in fantasy in 2026 since he'll likely miss the entire season.
