CHICAGO -- Manager Joe Maddon and the front office began preliminary meetings regarding the postseason roster, and the Cubs have created different scenarios depending on who they may play in the National League Division Series, which starts Oct. 7.
"We have plenty of time to make these decisions," general manager Jed Hoyer said Friday. "We'll keep revisiting the stuff over the course of the weekend, over the course of next week. We did it early enough that we could have those thoughts. Part of it, too, is talking about different ways we want to use guys in the last 10 games.
