Jake Arrieta is returning to the Chicago Cubs after agreeing to a $6 million, one-year contract.
The 34-year-old Arrieta won the NL Cy Young Award with Chicago in 2015 and helped the Cubs win the 2016 World Series for their first championship since 1908. He went 68-31 with a 2.73 ERA in 128 starts over five years in his first stint with the team.
The 6-foot-4 right-hander signed a $75 million, three-year contract with Philadelphia in free agency in 2018 and went 22-23 with a 4.36 ERA in 64 starts with the Phillies. He had a 4-4 record and a 5.08 ERA in nine starts last year during the pandemic-shortened season.
