MLB Rumors: Kyle Hendricks Nearing Contract with Angels After 11 Seasons with Cubs
Kyle Hendricks' tenure with the Chicago Cubs is reportedly nearing an end.
Per Bruce Levine of 670 The Score, the right-hander is closing in on a one-year agreement with the Los Angeles Angels.
Hendricks has played his entire MLB career with the Cubs. He was originally an eighth-round draft pick by the Texas Rangers in 2011 before getting dealt to Chicago, along with Christian Villanueva, for Ryan Dempster in July 2012.
While not considered a top prospect at the time, Hendricks developed into one of the key players for the Cubs during their run of success in the mid-2010s. He led MLB in ERA (2.13) and finished third in NL Cy Young voting in 2016.
