The Chicago Cubs have bolstered their bullpen by signing veteran pitcher Phil Maton to a two-year contract, pending a physical. Maton, 32, had a solid 2023 season with the Cardinals and Rangers, posting a 2.79 ERA and 4-5 record. Hes the first significant free agent to join the Cubs this off-season, potentially replacing departing relievers. Maton, drafted by the Padres in 2015, has a 23-20 record and 3.98 ERA in 478 MLB games. This move indicates the Cubs commitment to remaining competitive.
