OF Jay agrees to $8 million, 1-year deal with Cubs (Yahoo Sports)

The Chicago Cubs and outfielder Jon Jay have agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract, likely signaling the end of Dexter Fowler's time with the World Series champions. Jay batted .291 with two homers and 26 RBIs in 90 games with San Diego last season. The Cubs have an opening in center after Fowler turned down a $17.2 million qualifying offer two weeks ago.
