Cubs agree to 1-year deal with former Twin Baker
CHICAGO (AP) — Scott Baker wants to establish that he can still be an effective pitcher after having elbow surgery, and he'll get his chance with the Chicago Cubs.
The 31-year-old righty agreed Tuesday to a one-year deal that guarantees him $5.5 million next season. He could earn an additional $1.5 million in performance bonuses.
"I have every intention of being a competitive pitcher next year right away," he said.
