Today is MLB’s non-tender deadline. What will the Cubs do?

Since that article was published, though, there have been two changes made in the list of Cubs who are arbitration-eligible, and thus the team will have to make decisions about tendering them a contract or not for 2025.
Those two are Eli Morgan, acquired from the Guardians, and Matt Thaiss, acquired from the Angels. Both deals were completed on Wednesday.
Thus the list of Cubs players arb-eligible, who must be tendered a 2025 contract by 6 p.m. CT today, is as follows:
Nick Madrigal
Julian Merryweather
Eli Morgan
Isaac Paredes
Nate Pearson
Justin Steele
