The Chicago Cubs have decided to decline the $10 million mutual option for veteran pitcher Drew Smyly, according to multiple reports on Saturday.
MLB insider Jon Heyman first reported it. Smyly will still get $2.5 million as part of his buyout. It is still possible that the Cubs will re-sign Smyly later in the offseason, possibly at a much lower rate. In 2024, he had a 0-4 record with a 3.84 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in mostly middle relief action.
