UPDATED 1/22:
There will no doubt be trades, MLB and minor league free-agent signings, waiver claims, perhaps even a Rule 5 Draft pick, some non-tenders on 12/2, and maybe one or more Cubs minor leaguers will get taken in the Rule 5 Draft, but - AS THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW - here is the preliminary projected Cubs Spring Training roster:
36 players presently are on MLB RESERVE LIST (four slots are open)
35 projected NON-ROSTER INVITEES (NRI)
