The Cubs have released 30 minor league players, NBC Sport Chicago learned on Thursday, contributing to a massive wave of cuts across baseball.
According to a post on Brock Stewart’s verified Twitter account, the Illinois native was among those who the Cubs released on Thursday. The 28-year-old right-handed pitcher was a non-roster invitee at Spring Training this year.
“Just got that call a little bit ago,” Stewart’s post read. “Very tough to hear and realize. I’m not done though. I’m ready to go. I’ll be ready whenever. I have worked hard and got better. This bulls**t will not get the best of me.
