Cliff Floyd and the Chicago Cubs are nearing agreement on a one-year contract, a deal that may include an option for 2008 that the outfielder can control.

Floyd, who was born in Chicago, is likely to make a decision this week. Several AL West teams and Pittsburgh also have shown interest in the 34-year-old left-handed hitter -- Pirates manager Jim Tracy managed Floyd at Double-A.

Limited to 332 at-bats last year with the New York Mets because of an injured Achilles tendon, Floyd likely would be a backup with Chicago. Alfonso Soriano probably will wind up in center, with Matt Murton in left and Jacque Jones in right.

Floyd hit .244 with 11 homers and 44 RBIs last season, and had surgery on his left foot in October. New York replaced him in left with Moises Alou, a free agent who agreed to a contract in October.

But ill always remember him as a met. I hope he can stay healthy cause hes a good player when he is. Poor dude can never stay on the field but when he does dont leave any fastballs down and in!!!!

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Just look at that, if I'm a pitcher for the Cubs and someone hit a pop the ball deep infield, I would close my eyes not wanting to know whats going to happen.

They have a clown show for an outfield.
