Kyle Hendricks had spent his entire big league career with the Cubs and is 97-81 with a 3.68 ERA in 270 starts and six relief appearances over 11 seasons.

Free agent pitcher Kyle Hendricks has agreed to a one year, $2.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.

“It was a slow process, throughout the course of the year,” Hendricks said of when he realized his time in Chicago was ending. “It’s a results-based league. Of course, I would have loved to be a Cub my whole life if it could have happened. But you have to produce, and it didn’t happen for me.”
