The Chicago Cubs have made significant roster changes early in the offseason, parting ways with notable players Patrick Wisdom and David Bote.

Wisdom has opted for a career in the Korean Baseball Organization, surprising many as he was still viewed as a viable power hitter.

Bote has signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including an invite to their Major League Spring Training. Once a promising player for the Cubs, Bote's performance declined, leading to his departure from the team.
