The Chicago Cubs have once again trimmed down their Spring Training roster as they sent down six more players.
The most notable players to be sent down are Jake Fox and Jeff Samardzija. Fox will be headed to Triple-A Iowa and Samardzija will be headed to Double-A West Tennessee.
Others being sent down include:
Juan Mateo – Triple A
Ed Campusano, Luis Figueroa, and J.D. Closser to minor league camp
I think we will see Fox and Mateo called up and some point in the season due to injuries etc. They will be some of the first minor leagues called up unless they completely suck it up in Iowa.
