Outfielder Ben DeLuzio wasn’t the statement signing that Cubs fans have been clamoring for since the winter meetings wrapped last week. But the Cubs will continue to add depth throughout the offseason — that isn’t a reason to panic.
DeLuzio agreed to terms on a minor-league contract with a spring training invite, a source confirmed. The 28-year-old outfielder made his major-league debut with the Cardinals in September. DeLuzio, a speedy defensive specialist, went 3-for-20 over the course of 22 major-league games. He hit .278 in Triple-A last year. The Cardinals non-tendered DeLuzio last month.
