Cubs 2022 Rule 5 Draft & Minor League Free-Agency Watch List

10/17 UPDATE:

RHP Kelvin Feliz has retired.

10/15 UPDATE:

OF Michael Hermosillo has filed for free-agency on the last day of the Article XX-D free-agent filing period. It's possible that he waited as long as he did hoping to sign a 2023 minor league successor with the Cubs, but apparently it didn't happen. (A minor league successor contract is a contract for the next season, and it must be signed - PRIOR TO - the minor league player becoming a free-agent).

A minor league contract tendered to an outrighted player must have a salary equal to at least 80% of what the player was actually paid the previous season, but the contract is not fully guaranteed.
