Greetings! I just came back from a trip to the year 2028, and I have returned with valuable knowledge: the 2028 Chicago Cubs’ full Opening Day roster.
…Wait, you wanted to know what happens as a result of the impending 2027 lockout? Well, there’s a salary cap now: the newest expansion team, the Salem Salaries, wear a cap that says “SALARY” in bold letters as part of their uniform.
I have bad news for Cubs fans: unfortunately, Jed Hoyer is still refusing to offer guaranteed contracts beyond the 2027 season, even though the lockout has passed and the financial questions it raised are now resolved. As a result, he has refused to spend a single dime more than necessary on the roster, meaning no free-agent signings or current-player re-signings have been made: only players currently in the organization with team control through 2028 are on the roster.
So without further ado, here are your 2028 Chicago Cubs!
