Cliff Floyd (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) and the Chicago Cubs (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) are nearing agreement on a one-year contract, a deal that may include an option for 2008 that the outfielder can control.
Floyd, who was born in Chicago, is likely to make a decision this week. Several AL West teams and Pittsburgh also have shown interest in the 34-year-old left-handed hitter -- Pirates manager Jim Tracy managed Floyd at Double-A.
Limited to 332 at-bats last year with the New York Mets (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) because of an injured Achilles tendon, Floyd likely would be a backup with Chicago. Alfonso Soriano (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) probably will wind up in center, with Matt Murton (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) in left and Jacque Jones (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) in right.
Floyd hit .244 with 11 homers and 44 RBIs last season, and had surgery on his left foot in October. New York replaced him in left with Moises Alou (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater.
