I swear to some deity if the Cubs trade Nico Hoerner or whatever right after I publish this…
Anyway, we talked on the last pod about the addition of a couple of key pieces (berselius wrote it up here) and we now have a pretty good look at the roster that is expected to head into spring, and barring injury or asteroid or something, should be pretty close to what we might expect come Opening Day. The 40-man roster is full right now after a couple recent claims, and the official addition of Alex Bregman, and while they can’t put anyone on the 60-day disabled list just yet, we can probably expect a couple of those moves sometime toward the end of spring training, particularly for someone like Justin Steele who is recovering from elbow surgery.
