Adrian Sampson - Reaches deal to avoid arbitration Sampson agreed to a one-year, $1.9 million contract with the Cubs on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Sampson was a bright spot in the Cubs' rotation last season, pitching to a 3.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 104.1 innings. The strikeouts lag behind and the estimators suggest Sampson was pitching well above his head last season, but he's earned the chance to compete for a rotation spot in spring training.

Rowan Wick - Avoids arbitration Wick agreed to a one-year, $1.55 million contract with the Cubs on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wick finished second on the team in saves last season with nine behind David Robertson (14), but he didn't exactly secure the job heading into 2023. The right-hander struggled to a 5.06 ERA and squandered three of his final five save chances after Aug. 11. The job will be up for grabs again in spring training.

Cubs claim INF Rylan Bannon off waivers from Braves
The Chicago Cubs have claimed infielder Rylan Bannon off waivers from the Atlanta BravesNOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rylan Bannon - Claimed by Cubs The Cubs claimed Bannon off of waivers from Atlanta on Friday.
Impact Bannon spent the vast majority of last season in Triple-A, slashing .249/.367/.421 and collecting 77 RBI through 411 plate appearances. Infield depth was an issue for the Cubs last season, so it's possible that Bannon makes a few appearances for Chicago in 2023, but he will more than likely serve primarily as a minor-league piece for now.
