Cubs Reduce Spring Roster to 37
The Cubs announce today that they have reduced the spring roster from 42 to 37 players. The biggest move was right-handed pitcher Daniel Palencia being optioned to Triple-A Iowa.
Four non-roster invitees have been assigned to minor league camp: right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer, left-handed pitchers Richard Lovelady and Thomas Pannone, and infielder David Bote.
Chicago’s spring roster of 37 players consists of 18 pitchers (which includes two non-roster invitees), four catchers (two non-roster invitees), eight infielders (two non-roster invitees), six outfielders (one non-roster invitee) and one infielder/outfielder.
