The Chicago Cubs have invited 21 non-roster players to Mesa for Spring Training that starts in a few days. This is in addition to the acquisitions of Jharel Cotton, Jeremy Jeffress, Casey Sadler, Ryan Tepera and Dan Winkler earlier in the offseason.
Some will remain on the 40-man roster, others will be assigned to the minors and there will be a few who will be outrighted. Given the team’s uncertainty surrounding this year’s pitching staff, all of these guys have a shot at impacting the 2020 club.
