Cubs Expected To DFA Keegan Thompson
Briefly

The Chicago Cubs have decided to exclude reliever Keegan Thompson from their travel roster for the Tokyo Series, which raises questions about his future with the team. As an out-of-options player, Thompson must either be retained on the MLB roster or designated for assignment. The Cubs face a dilemma with their bullpen's limited flexibility, making it challenging to keep all relievers who cannot be sent to the minors. Despite a good spring performance, Thompson's placement seems solidified by team decisions prioritizing other pitchers.
It is hard to evaluate Spring Training, but ultimately, that was how we made the decision. I thought Keegan threw well, but some guys were better.
The Cubs can't accommodate all those out-of-options pitchers. They need to open two 40-man roster spots by next week.
