The Cubs continued to add infield depth today as they signed 30-year-old shortstop Jonathan Villar to a one-year deal.
Mark Feinsand has details on the terms.
Villar spent last season with the Mets where he served as the starting third baseman for much of the year, but he also spent some time at shortstop. He hit a solid .249/.322/.416 with 18 home runs and 14 steals over 142 games.
Villar came up with the Astros, but his best seasons were in Milwaukee and Baltimore.
