Cubs Cut Three More, Roster Down to 27 as Opening Day Draws Nigh

With only one game remaining in Mesa, the Cubs are getting down to the wire when it comes to roster decisions. News came down Tuesday afternoon that Munenori Kawasaki had been released, bringing to 30 the number of players still in big league camp.

We learned this evening that Chris Dominguez and Jemile Weeks had been reassigned to minor league camp. It was also confirmed that the Cubs will return Caleb Smith — a Rule 5 pick by the Brewers who was traded to the Cubs for cash — to his original team, the Yankees.
