We’re just four days from the Cubs 60-game season opener.
Rosters will be expanded from what’s going to be normal once we get back to a “normal” baseball season, hopefully next year. Teams can carry 30 players for the first two weeks, after which they’ll have to cut to 28. Two weeks after that they’ll go back to the 26-man roster which was scheduled to be standard starting in 2020.
It’s been widely assumed that most teams will go with 15 pitchers and 15 position players for their 30-man roster. Having 15 active pitchers will give teams some flexibility and not have to have starters go too far into games if they’re not completely ready.
