Teams are setting rosters around baseball, and you’re going to see a lot of movement in the coming days. Whether the Cubs are involved, remains to be seen. It’s possible Welington Castillo is dealt soon. It’s possible Ryan Sweeney is shopped. Mark Gonzales reports that Sweeney is “available in trade talks,” which shouldn’t be a huge surprise, given the emergence of Matt Szczur this Spring. The Cubs might prefer to give him a shot to stick on the roster, even after Chris Denorfia is ready to go.

Exec from opposing team says he asked #Phillies who their 5th starter will be. Was told, "He's not here yet."
