Outfielder Marlon Byrd has agreed to a three-year contract with the Chicago Cubs. Byrd batted .283 with 20 homers and 89 RBIs last season for the Texas Rangers. He will give the team a center fielder with Kosuke Fukudome expected to move back to right field full-time after Milton Bradley was traded to Seattle.
