With first baseman Garrett Cooper making the team and reliever Carl Edwards Jr. opting out of his minor-league deal, the Chicago Cubs roster comes into clarity.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell pauses in the dugout before a Cactus League game against the Athletics on March 14, 2024, in Mesa, Ariz. MESA, Ariz. — When Garrett Cooper weighed his minor-league options last month, he wanted to join an organization he believed provided him a chance to make the team out of camp.
Cooper credited his strong spring to changing his offseason routine and working with a new hitting coach, Mike Brumley, who worked as Cubs assistant hitting coach in 2014 and has been a minor-league coordinator for the Atlanta Braves since 2021. Brumley also has worked with Dansby Swanson and the Braves’ Austin Riley and Matt Olson. Cooper said Brumely helps breakdown video after games and address the mental side of the game.
Cooper’s addition to roster also makes sense within the context of Ian Happ’s status for the start of the season. Happ’s recovery from a left hamstring strain has plateaued, Counsell explained Saturday. Happ, who has not played in a Cactus League game since Wednesday, isn’t expected to be in the lineup until Monday. In the four days between games, Happ’s focus is on exerted running.
The Cubs survived a scary moment Friday when left-hander Justin Steele suffered a bruise on the side of his left knee from a comebacker in the second inning of his final spring start. Counsell is not worried about Steele’s readiness for Thursday’s opener and is not making any contingency plans.

Mini to Unveil Aceman Crossover at Auto China ShowMini is preparing to round off its line-up of three all-new core models later this year with the Aceman crossover, which will be unveiled at the Auto China show on 24 April. The Aceman will share much of its mechanical make-up with the new Cooper, using a stretched version of the supermini’s Spotlight architecture. Billed as the Mini with the broadest appeal, it is 192mm longer, 23mm wider and 130mm taller than the Cooper. Power will come from a single electric motor at the front axle, with outputs of either 181bhp or 215bhp. The entry-level offering is capable of sending the Cooper from 0-62mph in 7.3sec, while the more powerful motor reduces this to 6.7sec. The Aceman will be able to achieve broadly similar sprint times. As with the Cooper, two battery packs will be offered, with capacities corresponding to the motor’s output: the 181bhp car will have a 40kWh pack and the 215bhp model will receive a 54kWh unit. In the Cooper, these yield official WLTP ranges of 188 miles and 248 miles respectively
