These moves made by the Cubs were not surprising.  Hollowell appeared in just one game for Chicago last year, Neely played in six games, Kilian missed a lot of time due to injury and was granted a fourth minor league option this off-season, and Poteet was just acquired this off-season during the Cody Bellinger trade.

Decisions on at least 15 more pitchers have to be made

The maximum number of pitchers that teams can carry during the regular season is 13.  This means that decisions on at least 15 more pitchers must be made this spring.  Of the 28 pitchers remaining, eight are non-roster invitees.  The eight are Brad Keller, Chris Flexen, Phil Bickford, Trevor Richards, Ben Heller, Cade Horton, Brandon Hughes, and Brooks Kriske.
