Overview

  • The Athletic's Will Sammon first reported the agreement, and MLB.com corroborated it via a source as the team has yet to announce the deal.
  • The agreement is pending a physical with financial terms undisclosed, and the Chicago Sun-Times reports a one-year deal that includes a 2027 mutual option.
  • Harvey logged 12 games for the Royals in 2025 with a 0.00 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings after right-side muscle strains limited his availability.
  • The 31-year-old former first-round pick owns a 3.11 career ERA with 201 strikeouts in 185 innings across seven MLB seasons with the Orioles, Nationals and Royals.
  • The addition aligns with the Cubs' bullpen remake that has brought in Phil Maton, Hoby Milner, Jacob Webb and Caleb Thielbar to help replace departed late-inning arms.
