The Cubs Convention Is Sold Out. Here's A Complete List Of Attendees

The Cubs announced Friday that the annual Convention, which takes place next weekend (January 16-18), is sold out of individual passes and room packages at the Sheraton, the hotel hosting the Convention. The Cubs say there are a limited number of room packages with weekend passes remaining at the W Chicago Lakeshore Hotel. Cubs Convention room rates include passes at a discounted price of $20 per pass.

If you're going, here's a complete list of everyone Cubs-connected who will be in attendance at the Convention.

Note: Some of the players listed above, obviously, won't be in the major leagues in 2015. The list is from those currently on the 40-man roster (with one exception, see below). All of them played in the majors in 2014, and this represents 33 of the 40 players on the roster. I find it interesting that Castillo is expected to attend, given the trade rumors swirling around him. In case you're interested, the seven from the 40-man roster not on this list are David Ross, Felix Doubront, Mike Kickham, Joseph Ortiz, Christian Villanueva and Junior Lake. C.J. Edwards is listed with the minor-league players below even though he's on the 40-man roster, likely because he's not expected to play in the big leagues this year (or, at least, not until September).

If you're going, enjoy -- but be prepared for big crowds at many of the sessions, particularly anywhere Joe Maddon is scheduled, and also for the business session where the Cubs will be revealing their bleacher contingency plan. Lines for autographs will also likely be quite long. This will be a good test of the Sheraton, which is a much more compact venue than the former Convention home of the Chicago Hilton & Towers.

Finally, here is a complete schedule of all the convention sessions.
