Cubs 2024 Rule 5 Draft and Minor League Free-Agent Watch List

9/29 UPDATE:

The Cubs selected C Caleb Knight to their MLB 40-man roster.

Knight was eligible to be an MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2024, and he will have “Draft-Excluded Player” status until 20 days prior to MLB Opening Day.

9/2 UPDATE:

INF Jake Hager retired.

8/31 UPDATE:

RHP Adrian Houser has elected free-agency. (He had a contractual opt-out).

8/25 UPDATE:

The Cubs sent INF David Bote outright to AAA Iowa.

Bote has Article XX-D rights (he has been outrighted previously in his career), so he does have the right elect free-agency (immediately or deferred).
