Phil Maton is a Cub.
The veteran reliever agreed to a two-year contract with Chicago that features a membership choice, per The Athletic. The monetary phrases of the deal will not be clear.
The 32-year-old Maton is coming off a robust 2025 marketing campaign cut up between the Cardinals and Rangers, as he posted a career-best 2.79 ERA over 63 appearances with 81 strikeouts in 61 1/3 innings.
He struck out 33 hitters in 23 innings with a 3.52 ERA and 0.957 WHIP for the Rangers after getting shipped to Texas earlier than the MLB commerce deadline in late July, however his total physique of labor doubtless elevated his worth in a market heading into scorching range season.
Maton had a stint with the Mets in 2024, the place he delivered a 2.51 ERA in 31 reduction outings after arriving in a commerce with the Rays.
