Jon Berti has signed a contract with the Chicago Cubs that includes a base salary of $2 million, plus the potential to earn up to $1.3 million in performance bonuses. These bonuses kick in at various plate appearances, rewarding Berti with $150,000 for reaching 200 or 250 plate appearances, $300,000 for 400 or 450, and $400,000 for 500.

At 35 years old, Berti is looking to bounce back after a season marred by injury, specifically a left calf strain that limited him to just 25 games with the New York Yankees, where he posted a batting average of .273 along with one home run and six RBIs. His career stats reflect versatility as a utility player, showcasing a .259 batting average, 24 home runs, 126 RBIs, and 97 stolen bases across 461 games, having also played five seasons with the Miami Marlins.
