Cubs Revamp Roster: Caissie and Cowles In, Alzolay and Davis Out
TL;DR
The Chicago Cubs have added Owen Caissie and Ben Cowles to their 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft, while designating Adbert Alzolay and Brennen Davis for assignment. Alzolay and Davis, both dealing with injury setbacks, could still be re-signed on minor league deals. Caissie, a promising outfielder, and Cowles, a versatile utility player, are expected to contribute in the future. The Cubs face potential losses in the Rule 5 Draft, but it's unlikely due to roster constraints.
