Thought inspired by Joe updating the big league roster thread again. Does anybody have a handy list of rule 5 candidates available? Curious to see who we are looking at this time around. If not I’ll dig into it and provide it later tonight.

What a list, indeed! Thanks for coming to the rescue with that.
I must have been mistaken, I really thought I remembered both Luis Vazquez and Yonathan Perlaza were on that list. Glad to see they aren’t!

Although it's a long list with several nice players, I really don't see too many that other teams would poach.

They will lose somebody but the rule 5 seems to be a dying thing with it seems more and more teams taking a pass on selecting each year because they are in the same pickle the Cubs are in with 40 man roster crunches.

I think they will lose more than 1 this year due to the serious depth they have. Even if they remove another 4 off of their 40 man they still can't protect everyone they need to. If they can strike a handshake deal with Hendricks that they will buy him out for 1.5 mil now but then sign him back to a 2 year-18.5 mil deal that would buy us 1 more open spot at least until after the rule 5 deadline date passes. He would be one of the few guys you could 100% trust to follow through..

What a list, indeed! Thanks for coming to the rescue with that. I must have been mistaken, I really thought I remembered both Luis Vazquez and Yonathan Perlaza were on that list. Glad to see they aren’t! They were on the list, last year. They're on a different list, this year. If they're not added to the 40 man, it would be... Even more likely to lose them, this year. And let me tell you something. Besides being the 2nd best SS in the Organization (Better than Nico), Vazquez can also play 3B... Really well. AZ Phil:"11/15 is the date when clubs must file off-season reserve lists (40 Man) with the MLB Commissioner.""In addition, 5 PM (Eastern) on 11/6 ( TOMORROW) is the point in time when all unsigned players eligible to be an MLB Rule 9 minor league free-agent (second contract or 6YFA) will be automatically declared a free-agent if the player has not been selected to an MLB 40-man roster or has signed a 2024 minor league successor contract by that time. Again, players do NOT need to file for this type of minor league free-agency. It is automatic. Notable Cubs minor leaguers eligible to be minor league free agents on 11/6 are OF Yonathan Perlaza, and SS Luis Vazquez, both of whom are legit MLB prospects."
EDIT Note: Since the Cubs removed Estrada, Burdi and Young from the 40 Man, there will be room on the 40 for both Vazquez and Perlaza, if that's how the Cubs choose to fill those spots.

Az Phil: 1) Cubs likely non-tender candidates are Nick Burdi, Codi Heuer, Brandon Hughes, and Ethan Roberts (all of whom the Cubs would certainly hope to re-sign to a 2024 minor league contract for "big league money" and with an NRI to MLB Spring Training)
2) "With Mark Leiter Jr, Nick Madrigal, Mike Tauchman, and/or Patrick Wisdom possible non-tender (or trade) candidates mainly because they are salary-arbitration eligible, and clubs hate salary arbitration"
3) "Justin Steele, Adbert Alzolay, and Julian Merryweather are also salary arbitration eligible, but they are in no danger of being non-tendered"

I’m really worried about losing a couple high upside kids this year.. I edited it. We are already making room to keep or add what we want. Plus - Heuer, Hughes, Madrigal & Roberts are still on the 60 and need a decision. The roster isn't going to be trial & error, to open the season. We're going to be stacked (assuming FA's & Trades) from the get-go.

Per Arizona Phil
The Cubs have released RHP Derek Casey, RHP (ex-OF) Raino Coran, LHP Scott Kobos, RHP Michael McAvene, C Malcom Quintero, RHP Tomy Sanchez, C Jake Washer, and RHP Jarod Wright.
Casey, Kobos, McAvene, Quintero, and Washer were eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft; the other three were not.
