The Chicago Cubs are signing free agent left-hander Matthew Boyd to a two-year, $29 million contract, multiple outlets reported Monday.
ESPN reported that the 33-year-old veteran, who has never pitched in the National League, can earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses. The agreement is pending the results of a physical.
Returning from Tommy John surgery, Boyd went 2-2 with a 2.72 ERA in eight starts for the Cleveland Guardians in 2024. He struck out 46 batters and walked 13 in 39 2/3 innings.
Boyd owns a career record of 46-69 with a 4.85 ERA in 182 games (168 starts) with the Toronto Blue Jays (2015), Detroit Tigers (2015-21, 2023), Seattle Mariners (2022) and Guardians.
