Kyle Schwarber and the Chicago Cubs Agree to Terms, Avoiding Arbitration

Like Kyle Hendricks, the Chicago Cubs and Kyle Schwarber have agreed to terms, avoiding salary arbitration. The deal is a modest one, but inline with what his projections were to be.

Kyle Schwarber settles with the Cubs for $3.39 million for 2019, according to a source.

Mike Montgomery has also agreed to terms, and will earn $3 million in 2019 on his first year of eligibility.

The Cubs still have three players that have yet to agree to terms, Javier Baez, Carl Edwards Jr, and Kris Bryant. Here are their estimates, from MLB Trade Rumors.

Baez – $7.1MM
Edwards – $1.4MM
Bryant – $12.4MM
