Pederson will help fill in the outfield for the Cubs, who non-tendered Kyle Schwarber in December. He'll join Ian Happ and Jason Heyward in Chicago's starting outfield.

The 28-year-old spent the last seven seasons with the Dodgers, slashing .230/.336/.470. However, he struggled at the plate during the pandemic-shortened campaign, slashing .190/.285/.397 with seven home runs and 16 RBI.

Pederson played better in the postseason for the World Series champions, though, slashing .382/.432/.559. He also drew interest from the Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals.
