CHICAGO (AP) — Right-hander Braden Looper and infielder Augie Ojeda have agreed to minor league contracts with the Chicago Cubs and have been invited to spring training.

The Cubs open camp for pitchers and catchers on Feb. 13 in Mesa, Ariz.

The 36-year-old Looper last pitched in 2009 with Milwaukee. He went 14-7 with a 5.22 ERA and led the league in homers and earned runs allowed. He is 72-65 with 103 saves in 12 seasons with St. Louis, Florida, the New York Mets and the Brewers.

Ojeda batted .190 in 59 games for Arizona last season. The 36-year-old played with the Cubs from 2000-2003.

Among the other players invited to camp were pitchers Angel Guzman and Todd Wellemeyer.
