Bryan LaHair has agreed to a contract with the Softbank Hawks of the Japanese Pacific League.
The deal will pay him a total of $4.5 million over the next two seasons. It's a nice score for LaHair, who was designated for assignment by the Cubs earlier this week and would have made close to the league minimum had he remained in the major leagues. The 30-year-old first baseman posted a .259/.334/.450 slash line in 2012.
