Chicago Cubs: Who will Kyle Schwarber replace on World Series roster?

Other Possible Additions: Jason Hammel, Tommy La Stella, Matt Szczur

Though Kyle Schwarber will likely be added to the team, that does not mean he will be the only addition. With the bench struggling as a whole, there could be some more changes on the horizon. After all, the team has three players who are more than capable big leaguers that were not on the CS roster. 

Tommy La Stella was on the division series roster and could be an option as a left handed bat off the bench in the World Series. With the majority of Indians pitchers being righties, Cubs management may want as many lefty bats off the bench as possible, and La Stella could benefit.

If the team wants an even bigger shakeup, the man with a famous bat, Matt Szczur, could be added. With Coghlan, Soler, and Almora a combined 0-21 in the playoffs, perhaps all three of them could be dropped and Szczur could be given a chance.

The outfielder was an extremely important part of the Cubs’ success, as he appeared in 101 games, more than all three aforementioned struggling players.

The final wild card to consider is starter Jason Hammel. His inclusion seems unlikely, but he did have a productive regular season. If Chicago wants to add another pitcher capable of throwing multiple innings at a time, the fifth starter could very well be considered.
