The Cubs have signed free-agent shortstop Jonathan Villar to a one-year deal worth $6 million. The veteran will bring defensive versatility and speed to the team. Last season, he played in 142 games with the New York Mets and stole 14 bases. While his deal is contingent on a physical, he could serve as a utility player in the outfield. If the Cubs have trouble finding out which position he’ll play, Villar could fit in at third base and shortstop.
