Chicago Cubs: Murton signs minor league deal; Update on Arrieta hearing

We’re only a few weeks away until the Chicago Cubs report to training camp and not only have they brought back another seasoned veteran for a second stint with the club but may be inching closer to another deal with their ace.

In case you haven’t heard, former outfielder Matt Murton was signed to a minor league deal, reuniting him with the club in which he made his big league debut with about 10 years ago. Murton spent the past few years in Japan and broke a hitting record that was set by outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.
