The Chicago Cubs reached an agreement with the former free agent gardener for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Game Pederson, for the signing to take place it will be necessary to pass the mandatory physical examination, according to a report by MLB Network expert Ken Rosenthal. The team has not commented or confirmed the report, but according to sources, the contract would be for one year and $ 7 million.
Pederson, a National League All-Star in 2015, has spent his seven seasons in the Major Leagues with the Dodgers. Beat 190 with seven homers and 16 RBIs in 43 games last year. He has a running average of 230 with 130 homers and 303 RBIs.
Historically, 28-year-old Pederson is not recognized as an average hitter, but rather as a power toletero who at any turn in the bat can sometimes unexpectedly hook up. The California left is likely to take the place in the lineup left vacant by Kyle Schwarber, who was acquired by the Nationals recently after moving to free agency.
