MLB Rumors: The Chicago Cubs and Joc Pederson, a free agent who has up to now been with the Los Angeles Dodgers for his entire career, have agreed to terms on a one year, $7 million deal, per reports.
Pederson, 28, is a lefthanded hitting corner outfielder who was originally an 11th round pick of the Dodgers out of Palo Alto, California, in 2010 — he fell in the draft due to bonus demands, and the Dodgers grabbed him for a $600,000 signing bonus. He shot up the ranking boards a few years after being drafted, and was BA’s #1 Dodgers prospect in 2014 and #2 Dodgers prospect in 2015 (behind Corey Seager).
