The Cubs have agreed to terms with Venezuelan catcher Mark Malave and Venezuelan third baseman Ricardo Marcano. Bonus terms were not immediately available.

Malave, 16, is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound switch-hitting catcher with a strong arm and was expected to be among the top-paid catchers in Latin America this year. Marcano, 16, is 6-foot-2, 180 pounds and stands out for his lefthanded swing, though he may end up in the outfield.
