Cubs land Bradley

According to ESPN.COM the Chicago Cubs and Milton Bradley have agreed to terms on a three year deal worth $30 million. The deal will have the slugging outfielder roaming the Ivy Walls at Wrigley alongside Alfonso Soriano, Reed Johnson and Kosuke Fukodome. 

The move certainly gives the Cubs some extra pop in their line up. They now boast a heart of the order with Bradley, Derek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, and Alfonso Soriano. This certainly re-establishes the Cubs as a favorite in the NL Central if not the National League overall. 

The three year $30 million deal is a great buy. This would have been a good contract for the Nationals, but Bradley most likely wanted to go to a contender. Can he survive in Chicago? He certainly had his troubles in LA...

Top targets remaining for the Nationals:
Adam Dunn
Orlando Hudson
