Cubs Sign 1B Jesus Guzman to Minor League Contract

According to Baseball America, the Cubs signed 1B Jesus Guzman to a minor league contract. Matt Eddy did not say if Guzman received a non-roster invite to Spring Training but a NRI should be included in his contract.

Jesus Guzman spent last season in Japan playing for the Hiroshima Carp. Guzman played for Houston in 2014 and has ties to Jed Hoyer from their days together in San Diego. Hoyer signed Guzman in November 2010 after the Giants granted him free agency earlier that month.
