19. Keegan Thompson

Thompson was a bright spot for the Cubs in 2022 and the expectation in 2023 is that he will serve a multi-inning reliever for the team.

20. Hayden Wesneski

Wesneski was brilliant in his run at the Major League level to end the 2022 season and that could have paved the way for him to break camp in 2023 in the Major League starting rotation.

21. Rowan Wick

Wick has struggled in each of the past two seasons and it would seem that the door to him being the long-term closer out of the Cubs' bullpen has closed.

22. Miguel Amaya

2023 will be an important season for Amaya as the Cubs' catching prospect is expected to be fully healthy at the start of Spring Training and a return to catching duties should be in play.

23. Tucker Barnhart

Barnhart was added by the Cubs on a two-year deal this offseason and likely will split time at the catching position with Yan Gomes.
