Adbert Alzolay focused on making Cubs’ Opening Day roster as option decision looms

MESA, Ariz. – The message has been made clear that Adbert Alzolay is going to be part of the Cubs’ plans in 2021, but when and how are still to be determined this spring.

The Cubs are still waiting on word on if they’ll be granted a fourth option on the 26-year-old right-hander, a decision that could loom large as the team prepares to construct it’s Opening Day roster.

Alzolay has been competing with right-hander Alec Mills to be the Cubs’ fifth starter this spring, but the additional option could mean he starts the season at the team’s alternate site in South Bend.
