The Chicago Cubs have reached an agreement on a one-year deal with reliever Michael Fulmer.

The right-hander is finalizing a one-year, $4 million contract.

Fulmer pitched for the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. 

Fulmer said conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team.

"It just kind of confirmed my beliefs of me wanting to be here," he said, "and ultimately, just glad it worked out."
