Cubs' Brandon Morrow: Agrees to deal with Cubs

Morrow agreed to a two-year deal with the Cubs on Sunday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports.

Morrow is coming off a magnificent season with the Dodgers and will provide a much-needed reliable option at the back end of the Cubs' bullpen. In 43.2 innings of relief in 2017, the veteran righty posted a 2.06 ERA (1.55 FIP) with a 50:9 K:BB. The Cubs' closing situation is still in a bit of flux after Wade Davis declined his qualifying offer and elected free agency. Morrow could at least be in the picture for saves, if not the top option, by offseason's end.
