CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs announced the following roster moves in conjunction with today’s deadline to tender/non-tender 2025 contracts for unsigned players on their 40-man roster.
The Cubs have agreed to terms on a 2025 contract with right-handed pitcher Julian Merryweather, catcher Matt Thaiss (THICE) and right-handed pitcher Keegan Thompson, thus avoiding salary arbitration. Terms of the deals were not disclosed. Four arbitration-eligible players have been tendered 2025 contracts: right-handed pitcher Eli Morgan, third baseman Isaac Paredes, right-handed pitcher Nate Pearson and left-handed pitcher Justin Steele. The Cubs have non-tendered six players: right-handed pitcher Adbert Alzolay, outfielder Brennen Davis, infielder Nick Madrigal, outfielder Mike Tauchman, right-handed pitcher Trey Wingenter and infielder Patrick Wisdom. The Cubs 40-man roster now stands at 38.
