The Cubs could have Cliff Floyd signed to a one-year deal before the end of the week.
After it was initially reported that the two sides were close to a deal a month ago, it appeared the Cubs backed down, preferring to trade Jacque Jones first. However, no Jones deal has materialized and it looks like they still have money to bring in Floyd anyway. Floyd figures to share time in left field with Matt Murton, though it probably won't be a strict platoon initially.
