Sources: Cubs, Bradley agree to 3-year, $30M deal

The Cubs, closing in on their No. 1 offensive target, have reached an agreement in principle with free agent Milton Bradley, according to major-league sources.

The deal, expected to be in the three-year, $30 million range, will be finalized after the two sides work through language issues and Bradley passes a physical, sources said.

Bradley, a switch-hitter, will fill the Cubs’ need for a left-handed bat in the middle of their order. He spent last season with the Rangers, posting the highest on-base/slugging percentage in the American League.

This is going to be their year. I can feel it!
