"RHP Collin Snider was a mild surprise cut, having thrown well in camp and being discussed as a potential reliever for the Cubs. His minor league deal keeps him in the mix for future opportunities."
"RHP Corbin Martin was among the early candidates for the big league bullpen, but his cut raises questions about Ben Brown's inclusion. Martin has an opt-out option that could lead him to explore other opportunities."
"1B Jonathon Long was close to securing a bench job due to Seiya Suzuki's injury, but his positional fit was not ideal for the Cubs' current roster. He will head to Iowa to continue developing."
"RHP Ethan Roberts and RHP Gavin Hollowell both had strong camps and are expected to serve as up-down relievers this season, potentially with more opportunities than in the previous year."
The Chicago Cubs made significant roster cuts during Spring Training, sending players like RHP Collin Snider and RHP Corbin Martin to the minor leagues.

Other players like RHP Jeff Brigham, 1B Jonathon Long, RHP Ethan Roberts, and RHP Gavin Hollowell were also affected by the cuts, with some expected to contribute later in the season.
