Another Major League Baseball pitcher is on the move.
The Texas Rangers reportedly have agreed to trade starting pitcher Cole Hamels to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for minor-league players, per Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan. In order to cover the salary of Hamels, Passan notes Texas also will send a “significant amount of cash.”
The 34-year-old adds some help to a Cubs rotation that has underachieved this season, despite leading the National League Central. And although the lefty is 5-9 with a 4.72 ERA through 20 starts this season, he brings a veteran presence and another arm for what could be a deep playoff run for Chicago.
The MLB non-waiver trade deadline is next Tuesday July 31.
