The Cubs agreed to terms with Milton Bradley on a three-year deal, acquiring the left-handed bat they lacked last year. Bradley is a quality hitter, but he has struggled to stay on the field due to injuries. He is best suited to DH, but for the Cubbies he’ll play RF.

Twins owner Carl Pohlad, a billionaire who purchased the Twins in 1984, died Monday. He was 93 years old. Pohlad was routinely criticized for underfunding the Twins.

The Tampa Bay Rays filled their need for a DH slot, agreeing to a two-year, $16-million contract with free-agent Pat Burrell. Good move at a good price.

Royce Ring became the third left-hander in the St. Louis Cardinals’ bullpen, agreeing to a one-year contract.

The Braves could sign former star Andruw Jones to a contract if he becomes a free agent this month. Jones has fallen off the map as a player, but perhaps a return to his original team will rejuvenate him.
