Chicago Cubs: Week two spring training report

Projected Roster

Each week, I will provide and update on the most likely roster scenarios for both the 25- and 40-man roster. To better gauge the fluidity of the roster, I will point out the “last three in” and “first three out”. This will provide a glimpse into the players to watch when it comes to who may – and who may not – make the final cut…
