Cubs To Sign Carlos Villanueva
The Cubs have agreed to sign Carlos Villanueva, reports Jon Heyman of
CBSSports.com (Twitter links). The SFX client obtains a two-year, $10MM deal,
Heyman reports.
Chicago has sought out rotation depth this offseason, and they've already
signed Scott Baker and Scott Feldman as our Free Agent Tracker shows. They
also made a run at Anibal Sanchez and are reportedly a final suitor for Edwin
Jackson. Villanueva, Baker, and Feldman will join rotation incumbents Jeff
Samardzija, Matt Garza, and Travis Wood.
Villanueva, 29, pitched to a 4.16 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 in 125 1/3
innings spread across 16 starts and 22 relief appearances for the Blue Jays
last season. He's made 29 starts and 42 relief appearances over the last two
seasons and has proven capable in both roles. Earlier this offseason we heard
Villanueva was reportedly seeking the opportunity to make 30 starts next
season, an opportunity the Cubs can provide.
MLBTR's Tim Dierkes ranked Villanueva as the 29th best free agent on the
market this offseason, predicting he would sign with the Royals. To see where
