#Cubs say 4 players cleared waivers, reducing 40-man roster to 37: Vitters, Kalish, Valaika assigned outright to Iowa. J. McDonald's a FA.

Brett and Sharma also noted on Twitter that for practical purposes, the 40 man is at 39, as Sweeney and Ruggiano are on the 60-Day DL.

Dang. Half a mil buy out. What a brutal contract that turned out to be.

They got to do something to shed E. Jax this off season. What's he owed,22 million more or something? I just can't see them rolling him out there next year..Theo even said how he regrets the signing of him. Hopefully if we get Lester or sign someone else they'll bid farewell to him.

If they do something like Jax for Upton, than sure. But there's really no reason to just let him take 22M and walk away. I'd just as soon use him in long relief, and if he's still that awful, then let him walk.

Ever since being released by the Rockies toward the end of spring training, Vitters has completely fallen off the map. Yeah, 2014 was a rough one for him, but 2012 & what he salvaged of 2013 were encouraging in the OBP department. He's only 25, so you'd think that somebody would have picked him up as a no risk by now.
