New Cubs Pitcher Revealed Cubs’ Secret Weapon in Free Agency

It’s only a one-year deal, but considering Hunter Harvey logged a total of 10.2 innings with the Kansas City Royals in 2025, the Cubs signing him for $6 million guaranteed certainly grabs your attention. The right-handed pitcher actually got the second-highest AAV out of all the free agent relievers the Cubs signed this offseason as his Harvey’s market was reportedly active despite his injury-shortened season.

Harvey has put up good numbers throughout his MLB career, recording a 3.11 ERA in 185 innings of work.
