Megill will be a part of the Cubs' 60-man player pool this season and will head to Wrigley Field for summer camp.
Megill was a Rule 5 pick back in December, and newly revised MLB rules for the abbreviated season stipulate that these players need to spend 50 days on the active roster, as opposed to the usual 90. If Megill doesn't hit the 50-day mark, his Rule 5 status would carry over to next season, meaning the Cubs would have to keep him on the big-league roster or waive him. Typically, teams like to keep their Rule 5 picks around, so Megill will likely have some sort of bullpen role when the season gets underway.
