It is officially Opening Day, and the Cubs roster is set to kick off the 2023 season. Though most of these spots have been set for weeks, there were a couple of surprises and down-to-the-wire battles that were only just decided. The 26-man roster will obviously not look the same the entire season, but the Cubs are rolling out a…

With only two weeks left until Opening Day, it’s time to provide an updated prediction for how the Cubs’ 26-man roster will look to start the year.

That's a year when offseason additions and jumps from the young guys might actually push them to being much more competitive than they've been this season.

Let's get into it. Here are some Cubs thoughts for Monday morning.
