Less than a week before pitchers and catchers’ spring training report date, the Cubs are adding to their bullpen.

The Cubs and free agent right-hander Michael Fulmer agreed to a contract, a source confirmed. The terms of the deal, which is pending a physical, were not immediately clear.

His addition gives the Cubs another option at the back end of the bullpen, an area left thin by trades at last year’s deadline.
