This is also from rotoworld. I hope.assume this is a typo. They mean Royals, not Cubs, right? Alex Gonzalez-1B-Royals Jan. 12 - 4:20 pm et Cubs signed infielder Alex S. Gonzalez to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. Gonzalez, 33, announced his retirement last May after starting out 4-for-36 with the Phillies. It's not much of a surprise to see him back, and he joined the one team he could potentially start for, though the Royals are certain to give Angel Berroa one more chance to keep his job.
