As you all saw the other day, the Cubs reportedly agreed to a contract with sort-of-consolation-prize shortshop Dansby Swanson, and now have a few more things they need to do if they want to at least pretend to contend. So let’s see what we’ve got!
The 40-Man Roster
If you look on the official website’s roster page, there are 38 names on the list with two spots open that are theoretically there for Jameson Taillon and Dansby Swanson, plus probably a few extra things they’ll try to do before all is said and done since there are a few fringe guys on there I’d prefer not clutter up the joint.
