Jason Hammel, a 2000 South Kitsap graduate, agreed to a $20-million, two-year contract Tuesday to return to the Chicago Cubs, according to the Associated Press.
The AP reported that Hammel’s deal also includes a $12-million club option for 2017 with a $2-million buyout. If the option is exercised, the contract would be worth $30 million for three seasons.
Hammel, 32, was 8-5 with a 2.98 earned-run average in 17 starts for the Cubs before being traded to Oakland in July with pitcher Jeff Samardzija. He was 2-6 with a 4.26 ERA for the Athletics.
In nine major-league seasons, Hammel has a 59-70 record with a 4.60 ERA.
