Former Texas Rangers left-hander Derek Holland is joining former teammates Yu Darvish and Cole Hamels with the Chicago Cubs.
Holland, who was designated for assignment by the San Francisco Giants, was traded to Chicago for cash on Friday. He is 2-4 with 5.90 ERA for the season.
The 11-year veteran signed a free agent deal with the Chicago White Sox in 2017. He has spent the past two seasons with the Giants. He is 78-77 with a 4.51 ERA in 275 appearances in his career.
