Veteran shortstop Andrelton Simmons has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Chicago Cubs.
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal first reported the two sides were nearing a deal. MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported the one-year deal will be worth $4 million plus incentives.
Cubs fans who are potentially hoping for Carlos Correa don't need to give up with Simmons set to join the team, according to Rosenthal:
