Nady Signs With Cubs

Tim Brown reported earlier today that Xavier Nady has agreed on a deal with the Cubs. So you can check another name off the Yankees list.

(Updated 2:26 p.m.) Jerry Crasnick is reporting that it's a one-year deal worth $3.3 million base salary. Nady could make up to $5.35 million with performance bonuses.

In other news, Ben Sheets signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the A's. This probably means they're out of the running for Johnny Damon's services.
