It appears a longtime Chicago Cubs pitcher has found a new home.

Bruce Levine reported Wednesday that former Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks is close to a deal with the Los Angeles Angels. The agreement is said to be a one-year contract with the club worth approximately $3 million.

The 34-year-old will return to the same organization that drafted him in the 39th round of the 2008 MLB Draft. The team was unable to sign him after he returned to Dartmouth College before the Texas Rangers selected him in the eighth round of the 2011 draft.

The right-hander has been with Chicago since being acquired from the Rangers during the 2012 MLB trade deadline, which sent Ryan Dempster to Texas.

In his 11 MLB seasons with the Cubs, Hendricks compiled a record of 97-81 with a 3.68 ERA. He threw 1580.1 innings and recorded 1259 strikeouts during that time, good for a K rate of 7.2.

Hendricks played a crucial role in helping the team reach the 2016 World Series after leading the league with a 2.13 ERA. He finished seventh in the 2014 National League Rookie of the Year race and received NL Cy Young Award votes in both 2016 (third) and 2020 (ninth).

He will leave the organization after completing a four-year, $55.5 million contract extension he signed in 2020.

It wasn't the best final season for the veteran, as he finished the 2024 season going 4-12 with a 5.92 ERA, making his first appearance since 2016.

The Angels will look to get back into contention in their division after finishing last in the American League West with a 63-99 record.
