The Cubs Weekly Podcast had a special announcement on the latest episode. Hosts Andy Martínez and Lance Brozdowski share the exciting news before getting into the start of the Chicago Cubs season.

The duo discuss Kyle Tucker’s red-hot start and what it means to have a true, game-changing bat in the middle of the Cubs lineup. The pair discuss what impact Tucker can have on the Cubs offense over the course of the season. Brozdowski and Martínez then discuss the state of the bullpen after some early season scuffles. They share what and how the Cubs can turn the bullpen around.

Later in the pod, the pair break down Seiya Suzuki’s strong open to 2025. Suzuki’s start made the duo dissect what a 1-2 punch of Suzuki and Tucker can do for the team moving forward. Before wrapping up the pod, Martínez and Brozdowski look at the rotation and discuss whether there is any reason for concern with some early struggles for Justin Steele.
