The Cubs are discussing the construction of the 25-man roster for the National League Division Series that begins Friday, Oct. 7. The Cubs are not expected to announce the roster until at least the day before the first game. And the last few spots will likely be determined by the Cubs opponent in the NLDS.
Deadline for the NLDS roster to be submitted is the morning of the first game.
Joe Maddon told the beat writers Monday that the Cubs have discussed using a 12-man pitching staff in the NLDS but will likely stick with 11 pitchers.
