Cubs
Marcos Mateo, Jeff Samardzija, Geovany Soto, Bryan LaHair
All these players could be on the final 25 man roster. Soto and LaHair are named starters.
Samardzija is suitable for bullpen duty like last season.
Mateo is the odd man out. Most likely, Mateo is the player to be waived when the Cubs
announce the Concepcion signing and have to move a player off the 40 man roster.
From around the league, there are some possible waiver claim candidates if these players
don't stick at the end of spring:
Brewers
Mat Gamel, Chris Narveson, Manny Parra, Jose Veras
Giants
Emmanuel Burriss, Nate Schierholtz
Indians
Shin-Soo Choo, Shelley Duncan
Nationals
Roger Bernadina, Tyler Clippard, Ross Detwiler, Tom Gorzelanny, Henry Rodriguez
