In this episode of Wrigleyville Forever, Cody and Blake break down why Bo Bichette could be the perfect fit on the North Side and how his skill set aligns with what the Cubs need to take the next step toward contention. But do the Cubs have to trade Nico Hoerner to make it happen?We look at:

• Bo Bichette’s elite hitting ability and consistency at the plate
• How he would upgrade the Cubs’ offense immediately
• His fit in the infield alongside Chicago’s young core
• Why his age, experience, and upside make him a smart long-term investment

The Cubs have pitching, emerging stars, and financial flexibility — adding a proven bat like Bichette could be the missing piece. Is this the bold move Chicago needs to make?Cody and Blake also look at the pros and cons of trading Nico Hoerner, and the Yankees are suddenly in trade talks with the Marlins for Edward Cabrera. Are they serious and if so, Jed Hoyer is running out of options on the starting pitching front. Related to the Yankees, Jon Heyman reports the Cubs have checked in with old friend Cody Bellinger. Does a reunion make sense?A lot to discuss on this episode of Wrigleyville Forever.
