Ryan To Minor League Deal]]>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/16/cubs-sign-pitcher-bj-ryan_n_236723.htmlWASHINGTON — The Chicago Cubs signed former Toronto closer B.J. Ryan to a minor league deal Thursday, hoping to add another left-hander to their bullpen.
Released by the Blue Jays earlier this month, the 33-year-old Ryan will first report to the Cubs' spring training complex in Mesa, Ariz. If all goes well, he'll join Triple-A Iowa.
