The Cubs are expected to sign centerfielder Jim Edmonds when he clears waivers on Wednesday, according to The Chicago Sun-Times. He was released by the Padres over the weekend. The signing of Edmonds will mean a demotion for Felix Pie, who entered Monday's game with a .222 average and a host of embarrassing strikeouts. If Edmonds is signed, he would likely share the centerfield duties with Reed Johnson.
