Neil Ramirez reportedly is the frontrunner for the final spot on the Cubs roster … Munenori Kawasaki still a possibility for a backup role
With Spring Training winding down, the Cubs have at least one spot still open on the first 25-man roster of the season.
It’s been reported for weeks, the last spot on the roster would come down to the Cubs carrying eight relievers or a fifth position player on the bench.
The Sun-Times reported Neil Ramirez is the frontrunner for the 25th roster spot, which would mean the Cubs begin the season with 13 pitchers and 12 position players.
