They agreed to 2023 contracts with relievers Rowan Wick and Adrian Sampson, avoiding arbitration with both pitchers, and claimed infielder Rylan Bannon off waivers from the Atlanta Braves. The Cubs tendered contracts to 31 players on their 40-man roster. Pitchers Brailyn Marquez and Alexander Vizcaíno and outfielder Rafael Ortega were nontendered. Chicago’s 40-man roster is at 37 players. The Cubs finished 74-88 last season.
