2/27 UPDATE:
The Cubs have acquired RHSP Matt Thompson from the Chicago White Sox for LHRP Bailey Horn. M. Thompson is Rule 5 Draft-eligible (for the second time) post-2024. If he is not added to the 40 at some point in the meantime, Thompson will be under club control through the 2025 season.
2/15 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released INF-OF Ezequiel Alvarez.
2/6 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed free-agent RHP Carl Edwards Jr to a 2024 minor league contract, and he will almost certainly receive an NRI to MLB Spring Training.
