The Cubs have announced several new cuts from big league camp, lowering their roster to 35 players.
The Cubs have not yet made a final decision on whether top prospect Matt Shaw will be on their Opening Day roster. Today’s cuts included Cade Horton, Brandon Hughes, Moises Ballesteros and Ben Cowles as the Cubs reduced their spring roster to 35 players.
