10/1 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contracts of RHP Tyler Duffey and RHP Shane Greene from AAA Iowa.
Unless the player signs a 2024 MLB contract in the meantime, both Duffey and Greene will be automatically declared MLB Article XX-B free-agents at 9 AM on the day after the final game of the World Series.
9/12 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released RHP Edwin Uceta.
He was claimed off waivers from the Mets on August 18th, and then was sent outright to AAA Iowa on 8/26.
He was eligible to be an MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2023.
9/10 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released RHP Seth Roberson.
He was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Adrian Sampson / Manuel Rodriguez trade at the 2023 MLB Trade Deadline and was eligible to be an MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2023.
9/8 UPDATE:
The Cubs have sent RHP Seth Greene outright to AAA Iowa.
Greene signed an Article XIX-A 45-day waiver prior to having his contract selected and being added to the Cubs MLB 40-man roster on 9/1, so he cannot elect free-agency until after the conclusion of the MLB regular season.
9/6 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of LHP Luke Little from AAA Iowa.
Because he was eligible for selection in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft and had his contract selected and was added to an MLB 40-man roster after August 15th, L. Little has Draft-Excluded Player status (cannot be outrighted to the minors anytime after the Rule 5 Draft up until twenty days prior to MLB Opening Day).
9/1 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of RHP Shane Greene from AAA Iowa and he has been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).
8/30 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released LHRP Richard Bleier.
8/26 UPDATE:
The Cubs have sent RHRP Edwin Uceta outright to AAA Iowa (so Uceta is now eligible to be an MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2023 if he does not sign a 2024 minor league successor contract or get added back to the Cubs MLB Reserve List by 5 PM Eastern on the 5th day after the final game of the 2023 World Series).
Also, the Cubs have released RHRP Danis Correa and RHRP Gregori Montano (Correa was eligible to be an MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2023 and Montano was eligible for selection in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft).
8/22 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released 2023 second contract LHRP Jack Aldrich (previously released by KC).
8/17 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed LHRP Richard Bleier to a minor league contract and he has been assigned to AAA Iowa.
Bleier has two minor league options remaining and he has the right to elect free-agency if outrighted after being added to the 40. However, Bleier also has Article XIX-A rights, so if he is added to the 40, he cannot be sent to the minors (by optional or outright assignment) without his consent.
8/8 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released C-1B Miguel Fabrizio.
8/7 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released C-1B Dom Nunez.
8/1 UPDATE:
The Cubs have traded minor league RHPs Manuel Rodriguez and Adrian Sampson (plus ISBP space) to the Tampa Bay Rays for minor league RHP Josh Roberson.
Sampson is a 2023 outrighted Article XX-D minor league player so he was eligible to file for free-agency beginning on the day after the conclusion of the MLB regular season up through 10/15, and both M. Rodriguez and Roberson are eligible to be a Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2023 World Series, unless the player is added to an MLB 40-man roster or signs a 2024 minor league successor contract prior to 5 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the 2023 World Series.
7/31 UPDATE:
The Cubs have traded minor league LHP DJ Herz and INF Kevin Made to the Washington Nationals for 3B-1B Jeimer Candelario.
Both Herz and Made are first-time Rule 5 Draft-eligible post-2023.
7/30 UPDATE:
1B-3B Edwin Rios has been sent outright to AAA Iowa. Rios has Article XX-D rights (he accrued more than three years but less than five years of MLB Service Time) so he has the right to elect free-agency after being outrighted. (He has 48 hours to decide whether to accept the outright assignment and defer free-agency until after the conclusion of the MLB regular season, or decline the outright assignment and elect free-agency immediately, in which case he would forfeit the balance of his 2023 salary).
7/27 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released 1B-C Lizardo Ruiz.
7/24 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed second-contract minor league FA RHP Brayan Diaz to a minor league contract and he has been assigned to DSL Cubs Red.
B. Diaz was originally signed by the Seattle Mariners in 2021, and was released this past January.
In addition, RHP Adrian Sampson has been sent outright to AAA Iowa. Sampson has Article XX-D rights so he has the right to elect free-agency after being outrighted. (He has 48 hours to decide whether to accept the outright assignment and defer free-agency until after the conclusion of the MLB regular season, or decline the outright assignment and elect free-agency immediately, in which case he would forfeit the balance of his 2023 salary).
Also, INF Sergio Alcantara has been released.
7/19 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released RHRP Elian Almanzar (2019 22nd round - Florence-Darlington Tech) and OF D. J. Artis (2018 7th round - Liberty University).
Both player would have been eligible for selection in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft. (They were also eligible in 2022).
7/18 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released OF Zach Davis. He was eligible to be a minor league 6YFA post-2023. (He also had been eligible for minor league free-agency post-2022, but he signed a 2023 minor league successor contract prior to hitting free-agency).
One of the fastest players in the organization since being drafted out of Texas Tech in 2016, Davis learned to switch hit early in his pro career to take better advantage of his plus-plus speed, but he has no power and never was able to master the art of hitting. He also has a well below-average arm in the OF.
7/16 UPDATE:
The Cubs have purchased the contract of minor league (and ex-Cubs) C-INF P. J. Higgins from the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he has been assigned to AAA Iowa.
As is typical for these types of transactions, the D'backs were probably paid an amount equivalent to the MLB waiver price ($50,000), even though Higgins was on a minor league reserve list.
7/15 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released RHRP Rowan Wick.
Wick had been sent outright to the minors in March, and as Article XX-D player, he had the right to elect free-agency immediately (in which case his contract would have been immediately terminated and he would have received no termination pay), or accept the outright assignment and defer free-agency until the after the conclusion of the MLB regular season (presuming he had not been added back to MLB 40-man roster in the meantime). He accepted the outright assignment.
Also, because he was an outrighted player, Wick could not have been traded after the MLB Trade Deadline on 8/1 (same goes for David Bote and Manuel Rodriguez, BTW).
7/6 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released LHP Didier Vargas and RHP (ex-OF) Welington Santana.
Vargas was eligible to be a Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2023 and W. Santana was signed by the Cubs as a second contract player (previously released by BAL) last month.
7/4 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of RHRP Daniel Palencia from AAA Iowa and he has been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).
Also, 1B Bryce Ball has been released.
Palencia was acquired from the Oakland A's for LHRP Andrew Chafin and Ball was acquired from the Atlanta Braves for OF Joc Pederson (both in July 2021).
7/1 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released AAA Iowa RHRP Jordan Holloway.
Holloway had a July 1st opt-out in his contract that he elected to exercise after the Cubs failed to add him to their MLB 40-man roster or trade him to a club that would add him to their MLB 40-man roster.
6/27 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of INF-OF Jared Young from AAA Iowa and he has been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).
Young has three minor league options available, and he can elect free-agency if he is outrighted.
6/26 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed FA RHRP Shane Greene to a minor league contract.
Greene has been temporarily assigned to the ACL Cubs in Mesa while he gets himself into game shape. However, by rule a player with his service time cannot remain on an ACL roster after June 30th.
6/19 UPDATE:
The Cubs have re-signed FA RHRP Tyler Duffey to a minor league contract.
Duffey opted out of his previous 2023 minor league contract on 6/1, but he apparently could not find a deal he liked once he got onto the open market. He likely has another opt-out (probably 8/1) in his new contract.
Duffey has been temporarily assigned to the ACL Cubs in Mesa while he gets himself back into game shape. However, by rule a player with his service time cannot remain on an ACL roster after June 30th.
Duffey is out of minor league options should he be added to the MLB 40-man roster at some point in 2023, and he has the right to elect free-agency if outrighted after being added to the 40. However, Duffey has also Article XIX-A rights, so if he is added to the 40, he cannot be sent to the minors without his consent.
6/16 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released INF Yeison Santana. He was one of five players acquired by the Cubs from the San Diego Padres for Yu Darvish in December 2020.
6/13 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of LHRP Anthony Kay from AAA Iowa and he been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).
Kay has one minor league option available, and he has the right to elect free-agency if he is outrighted.
6/4 UPDATE:
After signing two second contract free agents for their DSL squads on Saturday -- RHP (ex-1B) Francis Reynoso and RHP Jeral Vizcaino -- the Cubs signed a third second-contract free-agent on Sunday, RHP (ex-OF) Welington Santana (ex-BAL).
If he is signed beyond 2023, W. Santana will be eligible for selection in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft (he signed with the Orioles as an 18 year old in 2019).
So the Cubs now have 65 players assigned to their International Reserve List (five slots are open), plus two players are on the Restricted List and three are on the 60-day IL.
6/3 UPDATE #2:
The Cubs have signed two second contract minor league free-agents, RHP (ex-1B) 1B Francis Reynoso (ex-STL) and RHP Jeral Vizcaino (ex-MIL), and they will play in the DSL (Reynoso was assigned to DSL Cubs Blue, and Vizcaino was assigned to DSL Cubs Red).
Normally a player cannot play in the DSL once he has played in a U. S. minor league (Reynoso played for the FCL Cardinals last season), but that restriction does not apply to second contract players.
A "second contract player" is a player who does not yet qualify to be a MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA but who has been previously released or non-tendered in his career (even if the player re-signs with the same team after being released or non-tendered, and even if he has been released or non-tendered more than once).
A second contract player can be signed for just one year, or (with mutual consent of the player and the club) for as many years as the player has left before he accrues seven seasons of minor league service and becomes eligible to be a Rule 9 minor league 6YFA.
Also, if he is signed beyond 2023, Reynoso will be eligible for selection in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft (he signed with the Cardinals as a 16 year old in 2019), but if J. Vizcaino is signed beyond 2023, he will not be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft until post-2025 (he was signed by the Brewers as a 19-year old in June 2022).
6/3 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released AAA Iowa RHRP Tyler Duffey.
Just like Vince Nittoli (see 6/2 UPDATE), Duffey had a June 1st opt-out in his contract that he elected to exercise after the Cubs failed to add him to their MLB 40-man roster or trade him to a club that would add him to their MLB 40-man roster.
6/2 UPDATE:
The Cubs have traded AAA Iowa RHRP Vinny Nittoli to the New York Mets for cash considerations (probably $50,000).
Nittoli had an opt-out clause in his contract that required the Cubs to either add him to their MLB 40-man roster by June 1st, trade him to a club that will add him to their 40-man roster immediately, or grant him his unconditional release.
5/23 UPDATE:
RHRP Bradford Deppermann (Cubs 2019 7th round draft pick - U. of North Florida) has retired.
5/19 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of OF Mike Tauchman from AAA Iowa and he has been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).
Tauchman is out of minor league options, and he has the right to elect free-agency if he is outrighted to the minors.
5/18 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released catcher Tim Susnara.
5/15 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of RHRP Nick Burdi from AAA Iowa and he has been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).

The Cubs have released RHP Bailey Reid and INF Josue Huma.
5/5 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of 1B Matt Mervis from AAA Iowa and he has been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).
Also, catcher Ronnier Quintero has been released.
In addition, LHP Ryan Borucki (Designated for Assignment on 5/2) has been sent outright to AAA Iowa. Borucki has Article XX-D rights so he has the right to elect free-agency after being outrighted. (He has 48 hours to decide whether to accept the outright assignment and defer free-agency until after the conclusion of the MLB regular season, or decline the outright assignment and elect free-agency immediately, in which case he would forfeit the balance of his 2023 salary).
5/4 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released LHP Roenis Elias so that he can sign with SSG Landers (KBO).
4/30 UPDATE:
The Cubs have selected the contract of LHRP Ryan Borucki from AAA Iowa and he has been added to the MLB Reserve List (40-man roster).
Borucki is out of minor league options, and he has the right to elect free-agency if he is outrighted to the minors.
4/29 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released RHRP Curtis Taylor.
4/25 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released RHP Peyton Remy.

3/27 UPDATE:

Guzman has been assigned to AA Tennessee.
Also, Guzman is eligible to be a post-2023 MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA if he is not selected to an MLB 40-man roster or signs a 2024 minor league successor contract by 5 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the 2023 World Series.
3/26 UPDATE:
The Cubs have reclaimed RHP Chris Clarke (selected by the Seattle Mariners in the Major League Phase of the 2022 MLB Rule 5 Draft) and he has been assigned back to the AAA Iowa reserve list.
3/24 UPDATE:
The Cubs have released INF Christian Donahue, RHP Trey Lang, LHP Andricson Salvador, and INF Esmarly Tatis. (C Fredy Montenegro was also released, but he was not Rule 5 Draft eligible).
3/23 UPDATE:
The Cubs have sold the contract of minor league INF Esteban Quiroz to the Philadelphia Phillies.
1/31 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed FA RHP Curtis Taylor to a 2023 minor league contract.
1/30 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed FA RHPs Tyler Duffey, Jordan Holloway, and Mark Leiter Jr to 2023 minor league contracts.
All three are out of minor league options should they be added to the MLB 40-man roster at some point in 2023, and all three also have the right to elect free-agency if outrighted after being added to the 40.
However, Duffey has Article XIX-A rights, so once he is added to the 40, he cannot be sent to the minors without his consent.
1/24 UPDATE:
The Cubs have sent RHP Manuel Rodriguez and LHP Anthony Kay outright to AAA Iowa. Both were Designated for Assignment last week.
Neither pitcher has the right to elect free-agency if outrighted, but both will be an MLB Rule 9 minor league 6YFA post-2023 if the player does not sign a 2024 minor league successor contract or is added back to the MLB 40-man roster in the meantime.
1/20 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed FA catcher Luis Torrens to a 2023 minor league contract.
Torrens is out of minor league options if he is added to the MLB 40-man roster at some point in 2023, and he has the right to elect free agency if he were to be outrighted after being added to the 40.
1/13 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed FA OF Mike Tauchman to a 2023 minor league contract. He played in the KBO in 2022. Tauchman has Article XX-D player status, so he can elect free-agency if he is added to the 40 at some point in 2023 and then is subsequently sent outright to the minors. He is also out of minor league options, should he be added to the 40.
1/12 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed FA RHRP Vinny Nittoli to a 2023 minor league contract. He was released by the Phillies yesterday after being Designated for Assignment last week. Nittoli has Article XX-D player status, so he can elect free-agency if he is added to the 40 at some point in the future and then is subsequently outrighted back to the minors.
1/6 UPDATE:
1/4 UPDATE:
The Cubs have signed signed FA LHRP Ryan Borucki to a 2023 minor league contract. Borucki is out of minor league options should he be added to the 40 at some point in 2023. He also has the right to elect free-agency if he is added to the 40 and then is subsequently outrighted back to the minors.
1/2 UPDATE:

Also, the Cubs have re-signed LHRP Brad Wieck (2022 TJS) to a 2023 minor league contract with a 2024 addendum. Wieck is out of minor league options if he is added back to the 40-man roster at any point during the next two seasons. He also has the right to elect free-agency if he is added to the 40 and then is subsequently outrighted back to the minors.

As things stand right now (10/1)...
67 Cubs minor leaguers are eligible for selection in the December 2023 MLB Rule 5 Draft, and 21 Cubs minor leaguers (14 post-2023 6YFA and seven 2023 second-contract players) are eligible to be declared MLB Rule 9 minor league free-agents at 5 PM Eastern on the 5th day after the final game of the 2023 World Series (or at 5 PM Eastern on October 15th if the World Series is cancelled).
Also, INF David Bote and 1B-3B Edwin Rios can elect free-agency beginning on the day after the conclusion of the 2023 MLB regular season and extending through October 15th. (Bote and Rios have Article XX-D rights because they have accrued at least three years of MLB Service Time).
Among the notable Cubs first-time Rule 5 Draft eligibles post-2023 are LHRP Bailey Horn and RHRP Porter Hodge.
Some of the noteworthy Cubs minor leaguers who were eligible for selection in the 2022 Rule 5 Draft and who will be eligible again in 2023 include RHSPs Michael Arias (if he is signed beyond 2023), Luis Devers, Kohl Franklin, Richard Gallardo, and Riley Thompson, C Pablo Aliendo, INFs Chase Strumpf and Jake Slaughter, and OFs Darius Hill, Yohendrick Pinango, and Cole Roederer.
The most noteworthy Cubs minor leaguers who will be eligible to be an MLB Rule 9 minor league free-agent for the first time post-2023 (if the player is not added to the 40 or signs a 2024 minor league successor contract prior to being declared a 6YFA at 5 PM Eastern on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series) are RHRPs Carlos Guzman and Eduarniel Nunez, LHRPs Brendon Little and Brailyn Marquez, and SS Luis Vazquez.
The most noteworthy Cubs minor leaguer who will be eligible to be a Rule 9 minor league free-agent once again post-2023 (if he is not added to the 40 or signs a 2024 minor league successor contract prior to being declared a 6YFA at 5 PM Eastern on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series) is OF Yonathan Perlaza.
There are almost always one or two unexpected pop-up break-out guys every season, so a lot is still TBD.
NOTE: If not added to the MLB 40-man roster, the players underlined and in bold below will likely be placed on the 38-man AAA Iowa reserve list on 11/15 so that they will be eligible for selection only in the Major League Phase of the 2023 Rule 5 Draft.
