What to Watch for Next Week

Over the next seven-to-ten days, expect a flurry of activity on the roster. Any players who were previously non-roster invitees and who may now wind up on the 40-man roster should see that announcement soon. Similarly, non-roster camp players who aren’t going to make the team should be set free in short order, giving them a chance to catch on with another team.

Another item to keep an eye on is any players around the league that may be surprise cuts. Such players may get a call into Cubs camp, which again would require some additional roster juggling to take place.

With the regular season now just a few weeks away, the 2018 Cubs roster should really start to take shape. This is as good a time as any to tune in.  It will bring significant insight into who will break camp with the team.

I’ll check back in next week to summarize Week Three!
