Cubs Hand Phil Maton $14.5 Million To Anchor Late-Inning Mix

The Cubs are betting on Maton’s whiffs over velocity, signing the 31-year-old righty to a two-year, $14.5 million deal with a 2028 club option and $250,000 in innings incentives. Coming off a 3.52 ERA split between St. Louis and Texas, the soft-contact specialist joins Daniel Palencia and Porter Hodge as the Cubs reshape the late-inning bullpen, targeting another playoff push.
