Cubs sign four players
The Cubs Tuesday avoided salary arbitration with outfielder Corey Patterson, pitcher Kyle Farnsworth and catcher Michael Barrett.
Patterson and Farnsworth signed one-year deals, while the Cubs and Barrett agreed to a three-year contract.
The Cubs also signed Scott Williamson to a minor-league deal. Williamson went 0-1 with a 1.26 ERA in 28 relief appearances for Boston last season. He held opponents to a .115 average and struck out 28 batters. He missed most of the season, including the playoffs, because of an arm injury.
Williamson was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1999 after going 12-7 with 19 saves and a 2.41 ERA in 62 relief appearances with the Cincinnati Reds.
