Cubs Sign Former Rockies Star Carlos Gonzalez to Minor League Deal

Per ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, the Cubs have signed former All-Star Carlos Gonzalez — yes, CarGo — to a minor league deal. The 33-year-old Gonzalez was recently released by the Indians after slashing .210/.282/.276 in 117 plate appearances, but he could provide a little outfield depth for a team that has used both Mark Zagunis and Jim Adduci in that role thus far.

Once one of the most feared sluggers in the league, the cumulative affect of age and myriad injuries over the course of his career have hampered Gonzalez.
