David Peralta, Cubs Agree To Deal On Monday
10 months agoFree-agent outfielder David Peralta (elbow) and the Chicago Cubs agreed to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to sources familiar with the deal. Peralta joins the Cubs after hitting .259/.294/.381 with seven home runs, 25 doubles, a triple, 55 RBI, four stolen bases and 47 runs scored in 422 plate appearances over 133 games in 2023 for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 36-year-old left-handed hitter had a disastrous second half of the season, though, and then had flexor-tendon surgery on his left elbow in late October. It remains to be seen if Peralta will be ready by Opening Day, but if he is, the veteran outfielder will mostly likely serve as a reserve outfielder for the Cubbies in 2024. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues shouldn't have him on their radars.
