The Chicago Cubs have made a significant move in their offseason roster adjustments by signing veteran left-hander Matthew Boyd to a $29 million, two-year contract. The deal includes a $5 million signing bonus and salaries of $7.5 million for the upcoming season and $14.5 million in 2026. Additionally, there is a $15 million mutual option for 2027 with a $2 million buyout.
Boyd, 33, had a successful comeback from Tommy John surgery, posting a 2-2 record with a 2.72 ERA in eight starts for Cleveland in the previous season. He also contributed in the postseason, allowing just one run and striking out 14 batters in 11 2/3 innings across three starts for the AL Central champions.
