In season 3, episode 26, Crawly and Dustin start by recapping a wild offseason for the Cubs that saw right-hander Marcus Stroman opt out of his contract, the club pull a surprise by hiring Craig Counsell as manager while firing David Ross, the signing of left-hander Shota Imanaga and the return of star Cody Bellinger to Chicago. Crawly then takes you behind enemy lines as he talks to Rangers Today podcast host John Moore for a breakdown of the Rangers as we get Cubs fans and listeners ready for the Opening Day matchup and series between the teams. Finally, Crawly and Dustin analyze the Cubs' 26-man roster, pitching rotation and bullpen before sharing their predictions for the 2024 season. Who will lead the teams in hits, home runs, wins and strikeouts? How many victories will the Cubs have in 2024? We cover it all!
