Woodford Returns to Cubs on Minor League Pact After Waiver Clearance

The veteran righty went unclaimed on waivers, briefly elected free agency, then quickly re-signed with Chicago for Triple-A duty.

Jake Woodford was designated for assignment by the Cubs, went unclaimed on waivers, and elected free agency before agreeing to return on a new minor league deal. He is expected to pitch out of the rotation for Triple-A Iowa. Woodford has bounced through six organizations since early 2025, logging a 6.86 ERA in 61.2 MLB innings, though his FIP (4.22) and SIERA (4.35) suggest better underlying performance. The 29-year-old remains a depth option with no immediate path to the major league roster confirmed.
