ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)—Veteran infielder Jorge Cantu has agreed to a minor
league contract with the Los Angeles Angels.

Cantu also got an invitation to spring training in the deal announced Friday
with the Angels, who also signed outfielder Doug Deeds to a minor league deal.

Cantu batted .194 with three homers and 16 RBIs in 57 games last season
while playing first base and third base for the San Diego Padres, who waived him
June 21. He has driven in 95 runs three times during an eight-year career with
five major league teams. He had 16 homers and 100 RBIs for the Florida Marlins
in 2009.

Deeds has never appeared in the majors, spending last season with the Texas
Rangers’ Triple-A affiliate in Round Rock.
