Cubs Outbid Rivals to Sign Cuban Slugger Jorge Soler The Chicago Cubs won the bidding for the Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler, agreeing to a nine-year, $30 million contract, according to two executives in Major League Baseball who had been apprised of the deal. Soler is listed as a 20-year-old, 6-foot-3, 225-pound corner outfielder who could beef up Chicago's depleted minor league system. He defected from Cuba last year and took up residency in Haiti before he could be signed under major league rules. The Cubs did not comment on the signing, and the two baseball executives asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. According to one executive, the Cubs beat out the Phillies, the Braves, the Yankees and the Dodgers in the final days to get Soler. The Dodgers were believed to have withdrawn their pursuit before the bidding was closed. Soler, who played for Cuba in international competitions, is said to be a complete player with power and strong defensive credentials. The Cubs followed the Oakland Athletics, who signed another Cuban outfielder, Yoenis Cespedes, to a four-year, $36 million deal. CLEMENS TRIAL TESTIMONY ENDS Testimony in Roger Clemens's perjury trial ended in Washington, and the retired pitcher declined to testify. Clemens, 49, is accused of lying to Congress in 2008 by denying that he had used steroids and human growth hormone. The defense rested, and the government called three rebuttal witnesses, including one who had testy exchanges with a Clemens lawyer about evidence saved in a beer can. Closing arguments are set for Tuesday. The jury could get the case Tuesday afternoon. DRUG ADMINISTRATOR HIRED Major League Baseball and the players" union hired Dr. Jeffrey Anderson as independent administrator for the sport's drug prevention and treatment program. He has been the head team physician at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Bryan Smith had held the baseball spot since 2006, but baseball rules allowed either M.L.B. or the union to decline to renew his contract. The union decided not to bring him back. NATIONALS 6, BLUE JAYS 3 Bryce Harper had three hits in his return to the starting lineup, Edwin Jackson pitched eight strong innings and visiting Washington won its fourth straight.
