Top Of The First
It appears that the heavy lifting has been done as far as the construction of the Chicago Cubs 2016 roster. It has been a very successful offseason and if this is the team the Cubs break camp with come April, one would have to feel completely satisfied. All that’s left is settling arbitration cases. The Cubs appear to be committed to just under $32 million in salary projections to seven arb-eligible players.
Could more moves still be in the works? I suppose anything is possible. Unless the front office is overwhelmed by a trade offer it looks like the team fully intends to play Jason Heyward in CF with Jorge Soler and Kyle Schwarber flanking him on the corners on most game days.
