The #chicagocubs have yet to do ANYTHING this offseason at the 2 month mark and into the calendar year of 2024. They're not the only team that's been quiet, but after a record breaking contract to #craigcounsell , it was expected that the #cubs would be BIG spenders this offseason. So...why so quiet? Is #codybellinger nearing a return? Does he HAVE to in order for this offseason to be labeled a success. Are the #cincinnatireds and #stlouiscardinals more division winner ready than the Cubs curren...

Kap is fired up because the Chicago Cubs have hired a new manager, Craig Counsell. The news shocked the baseball world has the Cubs relieved manager David Ross of his duties and shockingky hired Craig Counsell to one of the largest manager contracts ever. Most people in baseball assumed the Mets were going to get Craig, but Jed Hoyer operated stealthily and under the radar and swept in and hired him away from the Mets. Reportedly, Counsell wanted to stay in the Midwest, where he likes living and...

Kap and Gordon discuss whether or not they think the Cubs will go after Juan Soto. Soto has one year left on his rookie deal and is not yet 25 years old. He'll cost a lot, but with just one year of control left, he can't possibly cost too much. They also discuss whether or not getting Soto should stop them from going after Bellinger as well. They also discuss whether letting Kyle Schwarber walk for nothing is one of the biggest mistakes the Cubs have ever made. Kyle is back in the post-season ag...

Kap and Gordon debate if the Cubs season is over or not. Kap and Gordon both agree that the Cubs made a mistake in not trading for more pitching at the deadline. Gordon tells the story about a pitcher that he heard the Cubs thought they were getting. The Cubs may have had a better chance in September if they had added more bullpen help. Especially after they traded for Candelario, they should have done more. Can the Cubs sweep the Brewers to give themselves a chance to get a Wild Card spot? If t...
