CubsPS+ #101: Brick By Brick
Welcome back to the podcast! In Episode 101, I dive deep into how the Cubs are building their pitching staff, including rotation depth, bullpen construction, and the strategy behind their moves this offseason.
Key Topics in This Episode:🔹 Cubs' Approach to Pitching DepthHow they’re structuring the rotation to maximize innings and limit overuse.
🔹 Bullpen Overhaul: Who Steps Up?
Ryan Pressly likely to start as the closer, but Porter Hodge, Julian Merryweather, and Tyson Miller could all factor into high-leverage spots.
Keegan Thompson, Eli Morgan, and Javier Assad provide versatility in middle relief.
🔹 Rotation Depth: More Reliable Than 2023?
Depth options: Javier Assad, Jordan Wicks, Ben Brown, Luke Little, and Caleb Killian.
🔹 Trade & Free Agent Targets
Long-term bullpen vision: Can the Cubs build a sustainable bullpen instead of relying on quick fixes?
🔹 Can This Bullpen Hold Up Over 162 Games?
Final Thoughts:
The Cubs have more bullpen weapons and pitching depth than they’ve had in years, but is it enough? This year’s success could depend on whether their high-upside arms deliver—or if they still need one more big move.
