Report: Ben Sheets “all but signed by the Cubs”

According to a report out of the Toronto Globe and Mail, the Cubs are on the verge of signing Ben Sheets.

The Blue Jays will have a scout at tomorrow’s workout by free-agent pitcher Ben Sheets,but he’s all but signed by the Chicago Cubs

If this report is indeed true, then I can say that this is a good move by the Cubs. But I’m going to qualify this as a rumor for now, until Sheets actually signs on the dotted line to be a Cub.

I’m going to reserve analysis on this move, until we learn more about the whether or not this report is true, but just wanted to post this because after all it is a rumor.
