40 man deadline shuffling

And just like that, we return to having a holdover from the World Series team.

I would rather have Paredes or Brewer than Zastyzny, but not enough that it matters.

Wingenter and Hollowell have seemed like the favored sons amongst the waiver wire types.  Curious if they're slated to make it to ST or if they're just slightly ahead of these guys on the totem pole and get cycled off the roster later this winter.

Rob Z feels like one of those moves that we try to read the tea leaves about the team's intent or preferences and then he's yanked off the 40 man before the winter meetings.

I don't have a firm grasp on this, partially because cubs.com hasn't updated the roster with today's happenings, but it feels like the non-tenders and 40-man additions for Rule 5 should probably net out pretty similarly?  So while we will get some signal with news on who gets non-tendered, it might take until an external pitching addition to see more movement among the bottom of the pitching roster.
