Joe Maddon says he had an "epiphany" about the makeup of the final roster for the Chicago Cubs to begin the 2015 season.

Maddon has met with Chicago's baseball operations people to discuss his ideas.

"I normally believe these things answer themselves," Maddon said. "You talk about the game being cruel with injuries sometimes, and some questions are answered based on injury. Other times, let the guys keep playing and keep letting those answers come to you. Nothing has been finalized yet. I had a thought, and am just floating it a bit."

Maddon wouldn't reveal details about his roster ideas.
