GLENDALE, Ariz. – In the span of a week, the Cubs have gone from too few pitchers to carrying over a half-dozen camp additions on the staff. Now, the club has to figure out where they all fit.
“What we look like April 7 may be completely different two weeks into the season,” Cubs pitching coach Tommy Hottovy said Sunday.
The Cubs’ options for the back end of the starting rotation, specifically, have multiplied in the past couple days. The Cubs signed left-handers Drew Smyly and Daniel Norris on Saturday. They also added Adrian Sampson and Robert Gsellman on minor-league deals with spring training invitations.
