Harvey agrees to 1-year contract with the Cubs: Right-handed reliever Hunter Harvey agreed to a one-year contract with the Chicago Cubs, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement was pending a physical.
The 31-year-old Harvey was slowed by injuries last season with the Kansas City Royals. He pitched in 12 games and was 1-0 with 11 strikeouts in 10 2/3 shutout innings.
Marlins finalize $13M deal with Fairbanks: The Miami Marlins finalized a $13 million, one-year deal with right-handed reliever Pete Fairbanks.
He gets a $1 million signing bonus, a $12 million salary and the chance to earn $1 million in performance bonuses for appearances.
The 32-year-old made a career-high 61 appearances with Tampa Bay last season, going 4-5 with a 2.83 ERA.
Orioles bring back right-hander Eflin: The Baltimore Orioles are bringing back right-hander Zach Eflin on a $10 million, one-year contract.
The Orioles acquired Eflin in a trade from Tampa Bay during the 2024 season, and he pitched well down the stretch that year, but he went 6-5 with a 5.93 ERA during an injury-plagued 2025.

Kyrgios beats Sabalenka in latest ‘Battle of the Sexes’: Nick Kyrgios won the latest version of the “Battle of the Sexes” in tennis, beating top-ranked women’s player Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 6-3 in an exhibition match that represented light entertainment rather than another landmark moment for gender equality.
There was laughing and joking between the players, some under-arm serves, over-the-top grunting on shots, and even some dancing from Sabalenka during a timeout to entertain the crowd at the 17,000-seat Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai — where the most expensive tickets sold for approaching $800.
Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon runner-up who has played only six tour-level matches in the last three years because of wrist and knee injuries, appeared to play within himself at times and faced the disadvantage of Sabalenka’s side of the court being nearly 10% smaller in an attempt to level the playing field.
