According to a tweet from Ken Rosenthal, the Cubs have reached agreement on a contract with David DeJesus to be their everyday right fielder.
The Cubs signed David DeJesus to a two-year contract worth $10 million that includes a club option for 2014.
David DeJesus will earn $4.25 million each of the next two years, with $6.5 million option for 2014 that includes $1.5 million buyout.
