Spring training 2022 will be very interesting for the Chicago Cubs. First, you’re likely going to see many, many players who are not currently on the Cubs major-league squad, signed or otherwise acquired in the upcoming offseason.
Some of the prospects acquired in all the trade deadline deals will probably be there as well. There’s been some talk of having spring training run as it was in 2021, with minor-league camp not starting until big-league camp is over. Thus spring rosters will have to include some minor leaguers because there won’t be guys from the minor-league camp to call over to finish up games.
