Ben DeLuzio runs toward third base during the eighth inning against the Cubs at Busch Stadium on September 2, 2022. After the season, the Cardinals non-tendered DeLuzio, and he agreed to a minor-league deal with the Cubs.

Outfielder Ben DeLuzio wasn’t the statement signing that Cubs fans have been clambering for since the winter meetings wrapped last week. But the Cubs will continue to add depth throughout the offseason – that isn’t a reason to panic.

DeLuzio agreed to terms on a minor-league contract with a spring training invite, a source confirmed. The 28-year-old outfielder made his major-league debut with the Cardinals in September.
