For weeks now, we’ve looked at the inevitable decision facing the Chicago Cubs. Either Matt Szczur or Tommy La Stella appeared doomed to miss out on a spot with the big-league club out of camp.
Yet, according to multiple reports, that will not be the case. Chicago placed left-hander Brian Duensing on the disabled list to open the year, while keeping both La Stella and Szczur on the team’s 25-man roster to open the year.
This leaves the Cubs’ pen down a man, making Mike Montgomery‘s role with the team even more important.
