The Chicago Cubs have missed out on one of their potential free agent targets as one of the dominoes in the pitching market has fallen. Now, former Houston Astros left-handed starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi is signing a three-year deal worth $63 million with the Los Angeles Angels as first reported by Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

From Imanaga to Taillon to Stroman, in recent years, the Cubs have executed quality deals at the upper-middle level of pitching.

The Chicago Cubs are reportedly "probably out" on many of the top free-agent talents available this winter, but one second-tier arm could be just what the Northsiders need.

The Chicago Cubs have missed the playoffs in the last four consecutive years and since a return trip to the NLCS in 2017 after the World Series triumph in 2016, the team has not actually even won a playoff game,

The Los Angeles Angels have made their first big splash in free agency, signing an all-star pitcher to a three-year, $63 million contract.

The Chicago Cubs are heading into the offseason with a sense of urgency to improve on the heels of four consecutive missed playoffs and zero wins in October sin

The Los Angeles Angels have added another notable veteran to their roster. Free-agent starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi agreed to a $3-year, $63 million deal with the Angels on Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
