There are roster battles in camp that are starting to take shape, giving a little clarity on the Chicago Cubs’ direction for the 26-man roster together ahead of opening day on March 26.

The Chicago Cubs have made some more moves to keep trimming up the roster ahead of Opening Day in just two weeks.

While a group of the Cubs’ stars are taking part in the World Baseball Classic, the team has the ongoing task in Arizona of evaluating the group and thinking about ways to build its Opening Day roster.

The Cubs must extend both Nico Hoerner and Seiya Suzuki. Their standout performances and critical roles demand immediate contract extensions before Opening Day.

Would the Chicago Cubs still look to upgrade this area of concern headed into the start of the season this month?

The Chicago Cubs are getting closer and closer to figuring exactly what players will make up their 2026 Opening Day roster. Indeed, it has been an exciting spring thus far and numerous young players are primed to make the Major League roster.
