The Chicago Cubs signed infielder Eric Sogard to a minor-league contract, a source told Jesse Rogers of ESPN.
With Javier Baez at shortstop and Nico Hoerner playing second base, Sogard is expected to compete for a spot on the Cubs' bench.
Sogard owns a career .246/.316/.340 slash line with 509 hits over 10 years in the majors. He's played for the Oakland Athletics, Milwaukee Brewers, Toronto Blue Jays, and Tampa Bay Rays.
