CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have added Matthew Boyd to their rotation in their first big offseason move, agreeing to a $29 million, two-year contract with the veteran left-hander, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.

Boyd gets a $5 million signing bonus and salaries of $7.5 million next season and $14.5 million in 2026. The deal includes a $15 million mutual option for 2027 with a $2 million buyout.

The 33-year-old Boyd can earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses over the two years. The New York Post was the first to report the move.
