Cubs Rumors: Dodgers FA David Peralta Agrees to MiLB Contract Amid Bellinger Buzz

Free agent outfielder David Peralta has agreed to a contract with the Chicago Cubs, per FanSided's Robert Murray. ESPN's Jesse Rogers reported that the Peralta is joining the Cubs on a minor-league deal.

Peralta, an 11-year veteran, spent last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting .259 and notching 102 hits and seven home runs.

Peralta underwent offseason forearm surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon, so he will likely recover in the Minors and will likely join the Major League roster once he makes a full recovery.

The deal comes as the Cubs are interested in resigning free-agent outfielder Cody Bellinger, but have yet to reach a deal with the star.
