About this episode

The episode discusses the Cubs' offseason moves and their current struggles, featuring insights from The Athletic's Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney.

Signing Alex Bregman and trading for Edward Cabrera were well-received moves by Chicago’s front office, designed to level up the Cubs from a wild-card team to a World Series contender. It hasn’t worked out that way, at least not yet. How does Bregman get out of this slump? What is Cabrera working on with the team’s pitching coaches? Where do the Cubs go from here? The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney share what they’re hearing.
