The Chicago Cubs aren't coming bolstering their roster for the 2025 season, but fans are going to have to be patient until it's able to happen.

Rea, 34, reunites with manager Craig Counsell, who worked with him in Milwaukee in 2021 and 2023. Rea also rejoins the club that he played for in 2020, when he made his return to the big-leagues.

In a move aimed at bolstering their pitching staff, the Chicago Cubs have agreed to a contract with right-hander Colin Rea. As reported by ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, the deal is worth $5 million for one year,
