http://0rz.tw/Kv4n4
The Cardinals agreed to a minor league deal with a spring training invite
with infielder Alex Cora, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. On Saturday, MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reported a deal was
close.
Cora would get $800K in the Major Leagues, the Associated Press reports (via
ESPN.com).
Cora will compete for a utility infield role, writes Goold. The 36-year-old
Scott Boras client hit .224/.287/.276 in 172 plate appearances for the
Nationals last year, spending most of his time in the field on the left side
of the infield.
