The #mlb #wintermeetings are set to begin and #kap & Gordon discuss if the #chicagocubs are ever going to act like a major market team or continue to thread the needles with mid level signings like #matthewboyd. Kap tells Gordon that the #cubs are definitely winning the #nlcentral in 2025. Gordon laughs it off and says ‘prove it’.  As usual, a spirited debate as GW sets off for #dallas on Sunday to the meetings. 

Then, the pair discuss the stupid idea being tossed out by MLB Commissioner #robmanfred called ‘The Golden At-Bat’ allowing any player to get a one time chance to hit at a pivotal point in a game.

#kap and #gordonwittenmyer always are spirited when they get together and this episode is no different. Gordon believes the big market #chicagocubs should be in on just about everybody, while Kap knows there are some restrictions. The #cubs have had success in bringing Japanese players in recent years and currently have #seiyasuzuki & #shotaimanaga. So , are they players for the next big name from #japan?  #rokisasaki will make his way to #mlb in 2025 and the pair discuss whether he’ll be part of the 2025 plans. 

That and more as the #wintermeetings draw closer in a few weeks.

The GM Meetings are over which means we’re moving closer to #jedhoyer & #carterhawkins to moving forward with building the 2025 #chicagocubs roster. After #codybellinger opted IN to 2025, how does that impact how the #cubs can spend moving forward?  What impact should or could it have, if any?  

#kap & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the state of the Cubs as we’re just weeks away from the Winter Meetings in Dallas.

The guys debate changes in the lineup and in the pitching staff.  Why Gordon believes they are farther away than some think. Meanwhile, Kap believes a tinker or two can get the #cubs closer to the 90 win team they want to be.

As the season enters its final week, #kap  & Gordon discuss some of the things we heard from #chicagocubs manager #craigcounsell and pitcher #jamesontaillon say last week regarding the #cubs becoming a contender. Counsell says the team must make ‘tough decisions’ in trying to build 90 win teams on an annual basis. Taillon says they need to add stars to make it a ‘scary’ place to come to in the summer for opposing teams like it was in 2016 & 2017. They talk about what they expect #jedhoyer to do in the offseason and how hot is his seat as the man in charge.
