2 years agoThe Chicago Cubs are closing in on an agreement with free-agent left-hander Drew Smyly on Sunday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The 33-year-old southpaw made 22 starts for the Cubs last year and pitched well in the second half of the season after dealing with an oblique strain in late May. He finished the year going 7-8 with a 3.47 ERA, which included a 0.90 ERA over five amazing starts in August. Smyly declined his mutual option for the 2023 season but will rejoin a starting rotation that includes Marcus Stroman, Jameson Taillon and Justin Steele. Keegan Thompson and Adrian Sampson are also available to start, along with Kyle Hendricks, who is recovering from a shoulder injury. Smyly is a nine-year veteran and has played for seven teams in his career, including five since 2019. He's been with Chicago since 2018, but he didn't pitch in the big leagues for the Cubs until 2022 after having Tommy John surgery.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
