One thing Chicago Cubs Manager Craig Counsell repeatedly said in spring training is that the team that starts the 2024 season is unlikely to be the same team that ends it. The team is going to ebb and flow its way to the end. 26 players started on the roster for the Cubs. By the end of the year, possibly closer to 45-50 players will suit up.
We have already seen this statement ring true within the first month of the regular season. Sixteen pitchers have now seen game time with the Cubs, and that number is only going to grow.
