Chicago Cubs sign one of the best middle relief arms to bolster their bullpen
The Chicago Cubs enter the offseason needing to fill three major holes in the roster: starting pitching, signing a couple of relievers, and finding a suitable replacement for outfielder Kyle Tucker.

Early into the offseason, and adding back left-hander Shota Imanaga for next season after he accepted his Qualifying Offer, the Cubs wasted no time adding another arm to their pitching staff, right-hander Phil Maton, who will give the Cubs’ bullpen a jolt of energy.
The Chicago Cubs add some energy to their bullpen by signing Phil Maton
Non-tendering right-hander Eli Morgan after an injury-plagued season, and having a 12.27 ERA in seven games (7.1 innings), the Cubs needed to add a replacement for him, which Maton will provide, and then some. According to Marquee Sports Network, the Cubs and Maton have agreed on a two-year contract.

One of the best middle relief arms in the game, Maton had another great season between the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers, pitching to a 4-5 record with a 2.79 ERA and five saves in 61.1 innings.
Phil Maton will help improve the Cubs’ bullpen
The Cubs had the 11th-best bullpen ERA in 2025 (3.78) and had hoped that it would be the best part of their roster, having a mix of Morgan, right-hander Porter Hodge, and right-hander Ryan Pressly, who was released midway through the season. Needing to rebuild their pen, signing Maton to help restart things is a sign that things are going in the right direction.
Not a closer, Maton can fill in when needed, but will likely get used in high-leverage situations and in middle relief. With there being a ton of talent in the relief market this offseason, the Cubs have plenty of options to choose from to add onto Maton’s signing.
