The Chicago Cubs have agreed to contracts with veteran relievers Brandon Workman and Pedro Strop.

Workman received a $1 million, one-year deal. The 32-year-old right-hander can earn an additional $2 million in bonuses. A person familiar with the contract confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced.

The 35-year-old Strop returned to the Cubs on a minor league deal that includes an invite to big league spring training. A second person familiar with the deal confirmed the move to the AP on condition of anonymity because it had not been announced.

Strop’s deal includes a March 30 opt-out date.
