This is a thread for Cubs fans and roster creators to utilize for their rosters.
Before starting my franchise I always do a ton of work to the Cubs roster to make it perfect for me. This is me sharing my process.
Value is given to adding players to the 93 man roster in this order:
1) On MLB Roster
2) On 40-Man Roster
3) On AAA Roster
4) Top-10 Prospects
5) On AA Roster AND Top-30 Prospect
6) Top-30 Prospect below AA
7) On AA Roster
8) Notable players below the AA level and/or personal preference
Attached is an image of a recommended roster. I have included 26-man rosters for MLB, AAA, AA, and A plus some extra players still. Yes I know there are only 15 players in the game at A, but I like to fill it out and then pick and choose from that level. That is where there seems to be the most variability and personal preference in my process anyway.
I will be updating this periodically throughout the season.
Keys are as follows:
Colors=Level (Dark Blue=MLB, Light Blue=40-Man, Green=AAA, Yellow=AA, Orange=Top-30 below AA, Red=High-A, Dark Red=Low-A, White=ACL/Other)
Numbers in Brackets=Top 30 Prospect Ranking
Bolded=Top 10 Prospect
Lined Out=Has not appeared yet in a Sony roster
Here is a list of significant missing players. If you come across any good CAPs of these players either in the vault or in a custom roster, shout out the creator and name in the comments so we can use them to update our rosters.

SP Thomas Pannone (AAA)
SP Brandon Birdsell (AA #26 Prospect)
SP Jaxon Wiggins (#19 Prospect)
SP Brody McCullough (#24 Prospect)
SP Will Sanders (#29 Prospect)
SP Connor Noland (AA)

If you have any good information on these players to help narrow down who deserves to be on the "perfect" 2024 Cubs roster, please feel free to share. My main sources are:

I hope to stimulate good Cubs conversation and help everyone with their Cubs rosters with this thread.
