As you know if you have read my 2022-23 MLB offseason calendar, the deadline for teams to add prospects to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft is next Tuesday, November 15.
In advance of that, today the Cubs made several roster moves:
David Bote, Franmil Reyes, Alec Mills, Brad Wieck among 7 players to clear waivers, be outrighted off 40-man roster. (Mills, Wieck activated off 60-day IL at deadline for that, along with Hendricks, Heuer, Heyward, Ortega, Roberts).
3 others outrighted: Brault, Crook, Espinoza.
