My Roster Battles doc is in full swing with Spring Training having started; as usual, let me know if any feedbacks or mistakes here! I'm always cautious with who I classify as a "lock" because I don't want a lock to not make the team and make me look silly:

Counsell said today Nico Hoerner is "in a great spot" as he continues forward with focus on stacking good days. Counsell didn't put timeframe but "he's not gonna miss much (time) if at all. That's what I'd say. I'm confident in that. ...The news has been all good so far & that's really encouraging."

Cubs keep saying top prospect Matt Shaw has to earn the third base vacancy. Other options for third right now include Berti, Bruján, Workman. Said Counsell: "Matt's got a shot at it. There's no question about it. He's squarely in the mix, and he's probably going to get the first shot at it."

Cubs make the 1-year signing of INF Jon Berti official. Per @feinsand.bsky.social, the pact is worth $2M (plus up to $1.3M in incentives). To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the Cubs have designated INF Luis Vazquez for assignment.

Updated: Chicago Cubs will pay $8.5 million of Ryan Pressly’s contract and send only a fringe Class A prospect to Houston. The Astros get salary relief to pave the way for the return of beloved 3B Alex Bregman

Thielbar is huge on Pitch Movement 109 Movement+, 107 Location+, 97 Velocity+ 43% 4-Seam - 93% Move+ 31% Sweeper - 87% Move+ 25% Curveball - 99% Move+ Had a down year in 2024 (95.6 wOBA+) but fantastic underlying stats that adds upside in a much needed Bullpen LHP option for the Cubs

Considering just moves done so far, have the Cubs done enough to be a 90 win team? I think maybe, and they still have another $30M-$40M AAV to spend!

I hope the Cubbies are talking to Boras about Alonso now. The thought of he and Tucker hitting 3-4 in this lineup, combining for ~70 dingers/~200 RBIs has me fired up

One of the biggest risks the Cubs took in trading for Kyle Tucker is his pending free agency. But he said he’s open to extension talks. More from @mmontemurro.bsky.social.

This outcome is KINDA like - but not exactly like! - Cody Bellinger had opted out of his deal, and then the Cubs signed Cody Poteet to a two-year, $5 million deal.

I hate to sound ungrateful after the Tucker trade but… I’m ready for more moves!
