The Chicago Cubs sign Brian Bogusevic
The Cubs have signed 28-year old lefty swinging outfielder Brian Bogusevic to a minor league deal. He played in 146 games for the Astros last year and he was 72 for 355 (.203 avg, .596 OPS) with 39 runs scored, 7 homers, 28 RBIs and 15 stolen bases. Bogusevic has now played in 252 games in his first three years in the majors and he is 124 of 547 (.227 avg, .656 OPS) with 66 runs scored, 11 homers, 46 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. He is going to have a good shot of winning a bench job with the Cubs next spring.
