Jed Hoyer bet on organizational depth this offseason. This week I want to talk about that depth and what it has meant for the Cubs this year (both good and bad). I’ve talked a lot about roster construction and we’ve seen a lot of changes already, including a flurry of moves yesterday. The Cubs are playing a tough schedule, working through a number of significant injuries and have still been able to remain competitive. How might the Cubs continue to manage the rotation and bullpen and why was Garrett Cooper picked to go Tuesday? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With the Cubs 12 games in, I talk mostly about pitching this week. Starters have been mostly solid and the bullpen has been inconsistent – but there’s a common thread: Efficiency.

Cody Bellinger is on board and spring training games are rolling! The “add more” part of the offseason is about over, so now it’s time to look ahead to the Opening Day roster, which will be rounding into shape in the next couple of weeks. Today, I focus on the position player half of the active roster and get into who is locked in, who’s on the bubble and which directions the Cubs might go. Will Owen Caissie’s hot spring win him a roster spot? Can PCA or Canario stick? Which non-roster invitees might make the team as a bench bat? Let’s dive in! Learn more about your ad choices.

The roster is slowly but surely coming together. The Cubs still have questions and holes on the roster, but they’ve now added a quality starting pitcher in Shota Imanaga, lefty bat in Michael Busch, and two relievers capable of picking up leverage innings – Hector Neris and Yancy Almonte. Despite the additions and the overall increase in talent at the bottom of the 40-man roster, the Cubs are going to have some really interesting choices this spring. Will the Cubs get Cody Bellinger or Matt Chapman? Who seems destined for the opening day roster? Let’s dig in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
