Share

MESA, Ariz. - One day after signing Dexter Fowler, the Cubs also added Shane Victorino to the outfield mix.

Victorino is signed to a minor-league deal with an invite to big-league camp.

The 35-year-old Victorino is a two-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner. He has spent the majority of his career in center field, but has moved to the corner spots in recent years.

Victorino hit .230 with a .601 OPS in 2015, playing 71 games with the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels.

He owns a lifetime .275/.340/.425 slash line with 231 stolen bases and 108 homers.

Victorino only hits right-handed now, abandoning his switch-hitting duties prior to last season.
