Michael Busch - Settling in at firstBusch, who primarily played second and third base the last few years, said he is feeling more comfortable at first, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
ImpactBusch is expected to make an impact with his bat, but the Cubs also hope to get solid defense at first base. Manager Craig Counsell noted that Busch's athleticism is helping him make the transition, and the team seems to be happy with what they're seeing so far in camp. If Busch can hold his own at the position, he should be in line for a fairly steady amount of playing time this season.

Mark Leiter - No defined roles in Cubs bullpenCubs manager Craig Counsell doesn't plan to enter the season with defined bullpen roles for Leiter or any other reliever, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
ImpactLeiter has notched seven saves over the last two seasons with the Cubs, collecting a 3.75 ERA and 150:49 K:BB over 132 innings along the way. The reverse-splits reliever could potentially work his way into the saves mix again in 2024, although he's probably at least behind Adbert Alzolay and Hector Neris and possibly also Julian Merryweather in the pecking order.
