You already own him. You just have to post that you're adding him in the add/drop folder and add him in your Yahoo roster.

Thank you. I did what you said.
My question is, I already own him? I don't see him listed on my roster spreadsheet.
How did you figure that out?
(I really appreciate your guidance)

Any player who is in Yahoo's database, is owned by the real MLB team you represent, in this case the Cubs, and who has less than 130 MLB at-bats or 50 innings pitched, is owned by you, whether or not they are on the spreadsheet, unless you have traded them away. It is then your choice to add them to your 25-man roster, your 10-man NA/minors protected list, or leave them unprotected. If they are on your 25-man roster or on the protected list, then they will be on the spreadsheet. If not, they won't be. I'll use Nico Hoerner, the Cubs top prospect, as an example. Currently, you have left him unprotected, so he is not on your spreadsheet. Should the MLB Cubs trade him to, say, the Mets for Noah Syndegaard, he would then become owned by the Mets in our league. If, however, you had protected him, you would keep his rights. It is why you still have Gleyber Torres and Eloy Jimenez. My advice to everyone, given the new MLB trade deadline rule, is to protect your best prospects through July 31, especially if your MLB team is expected to be a buyer. I've got Atlanta, so I'm protecting 7 guys. The other thing to know about prospect-eligible players is they can be left in the Free Agent pool in Yahoo until you decide to call them up to your active roster, even if they are on the real MLB team's roster. In my case, the Braves have called up Wes Parsons, but I have not added him to my active roster, so he's in the Yahoo free agent pool. No one but me can pick him up or bid on him until he hits 50 innings, which is way off.
Hope this helps explain things for you. If not, shoot me an email.

Great explanation Gordon, Just want to mention the 130abs and 50ip are for a single season, not career stats. Player can not have over 3 MLB years of experience per COTs website as well. Feel free to email or message me if you have more question.

Thank you!
