According to multiple reports, the Cubs have agreed to terms on a five-year, $75 million contract with Anibal Sanchez.

Updated 5:10pm CST – Jon Heyman and Jon Paul Morosi are reporting that Sanchez and the Cubs deal is not done … Stay Tuned.

Updated 5:26pm CST – From David Kaplan – After talking w/some very good sources it appears Cubs deal with Sanchez is not yet done. Tigers still in play but Cubs trying to finalize. Cubs told another agent for a free agent pitcher they were down the road with Sanchez and would call if they lost out. Agent hasn’t heard back.

Updated 10:46pm CST – According to Bob Nightengale, there will be no decision tonight by Sanchez, as talks with Cubs and Tigers continue in morning. Anibal Sanchez was a combined 9-13 in 31 starts for the Marlins and Tigers last season. Sanchez took a step forward in his development during his time with the Tigers at the end of the season.
