Taking the lazy route with this one because I’m worn the heck out and it’s not necessary to dive any deeper than the press release.

The Chicago Cubs have invited the following 20 non-roster players to 2025 major league Spring Training, which begins Sunday, February 9 when pitchers and catchers have their first formal workout at the club’s Nike Performance Center in Mesa, Ariz. The team’s first full-squad workout will take place Friday, February 14.

The following 10 pitchers have been invited to major league camp: right-handed pitchers Phil Bickford, Brandon Birdsell, Ben Heller, Cade Horton, Brad Keller, Brooks Kriske, Trevor Richards and Antonio Santos, as well as left-handed pitchers Brandon Hughes and Riley Martin.
