MESA, Ariz., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Outfielder Scott Hairston has agreed to a two-year contract with the Chicago Cubs, the team announced Sunday.
Hairston, 32, belted a career-best 20 homers last season with the New York Mets, adding 57 RBI to go with a .263 batting average over 134 games.
Hairston becomes the second member of his family to play for the Cubs -- his older brother, Jerry Jr., was with the team from 2005-06.
Scott Hairston has compiled a .247 average with 95 homers, 124 doubles and 279 RBI in career 777 games with Arizona, San Diego, Oakland and the Mets.
