As is the case at the beginning of every off-season, questions are asked about the status of the players on the Cubs 40-man roster. Which players are free agents? Which players are under contract? How many players are arbitration eligible? And what players have minor league options left?
The Cubs 40-man roster currently stands at 40 players. Dan Haren announced his retirement and he will be officially removed from the roster at the conclusion of the World Series. Seven players will become free agents after the World Series.
