"The Cubs probably had to tell him today whether he was going to make the team or not, and if not, he could've headed elsewhere."
"Conforto, 33, hasn't hit much in his 31 spring plate appearances, but that's rarely a decisive factor for a veteran position player."
"If Seiya Suzuki opens the season on the IL, the Cubs will be able to carry, in addition to Conforto, two more players from the Dylan Carlson group."
"Counsell said of Seiya Suzuki (right knee) will not be ready for Opening Day, but the Cubs do not need to make an IL decision until Wednesday."
The Chicago Cubs appear committed to including Michael Conforto on their Opening Day roster, influenced by Seiya Suzuki's knee injury. Conforto's minor league deal included an opt-out clause, necessitating a decision on his status. Despite limited performance in spring training, the Cubs value his experience and potential as a bench player. If Suzuki is placed on the injured list, the Cubs can also include additional players from a specific group, enhancing their roster flexibility.
