According to a team press release, the Cubs have signed free-agent OF Reed Johnson to a one-year contract.

According to both Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com and Jayson Stark at ESPN.com, the Cubs had been expressing the most interest in Johnson.

Over the weekend, Omar Minaya told reporters that, while he and his staff will discuss Johnson, like with all available players, he is essentially content with Angel Pagan and Brady Clark.

Minaya planned to meet with team officials to discuss Johnson last night, according to Newsday.
