CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago Cubs announced Thursday that they have agreed to terms with center fielder Juan Pierre on a one-year contract.

The Cubs acquired Pierre from the Marlins on December 7 for pitchers Sergio Mitre, Ricky Nolasco and Renyel Pinto. The 28-year-old Pierre is replacing Corey Patterson in the outfield and at the top of the order in Chicago.

The Cubs also agreed to terms on a one-year deal with pitcher Will Ohman.

Terms of the deals were not disclosed but ESPN 1000 in Chicago is reporting Pierre will be paid $5.75 million and Ohman $610,000.

Pierre, who made $3.7 million last season, batted .276 with 13 triples, two home runs, 47 RBI and 57 steals for the Marlins in 2005, but his average and .326 on-base percentage were career lows. The lefthanded hitter has a .305 average with a .355 on-base percentage over his six-year career.

Patterson hit just .215 with a .254 on-base percentage in 126 games in 2005.

Ohman was 2-2 with a 2.91 ERA in 69 games last season. The lefthander did not allow a run in 58 of his appearances and stranded 35 of 47 inherited runners.
