Free-agent pitcher John Lackey signed with the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
According to Fox Sports, the deal is for two years and $32 million. The deal is pending a physical.
Lackey’s signing will cost the Cubs their first pick in the 2016 draft, the Chicago Tribune notes. He will be reunited with pitcher Jon Lester and catcher David Ross, who were his teammates with the Boston Red Sox in 2013.
Lackey will be entering his 14th season in the majors and the Cubs will be his fourth team. He has also played for the Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels, and the St. Louis Cardinals. He has been with the Cardinals for the last year and a half.
This year, he was 13-0 and had a 2.77 ERA, according to ESPN. Lackey has won two World Series, one with the Angels in 2002 and one with the Red Sox in 2013.
Lackey will add depth to the Cubs rotation which includes Lester, 2015 NL Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta, Jason Hammel, and Kyle Hendricks.
