We stand one day from the Cubs’ re-opener against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
I thought today would be a good time to look at the Cubs’ 40-man roster and how each player came to the Cubs.
The headline says “plus one” because Brad Keller, not currently on the 40-man, has been told he’ll make the team. The roster move for Keller has not yet been announced; it could be a move of Javier Assad to the 60-day injured list, or some other move that isn’t obvious at this time.
