Cubs 2023 Rule 5 Draft & Minor League Free-Agency Watch List

11/2 UPDATE:

RHP Nick Burdi, RHP Jeremiah Estrada, and INF-OF Jared Young have been sent outright to AAA Iowa.

Burdi (because he has accrued at least three years of MLB Service Time) and Young (because he has been outrighted to the minors previously in his career) have the right to elect free-agency immediately. If the player does not elect free-agency and does not sign a 2024 minor league successor contract sometime in the next four days, he will be automatically declared an MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA on Monday at 5 PM (Eastern).
