About this episode
The Cubs' biggest offseason move was upstaged by the Cardinals, but are there other moves they can make to round out the roster? David Kaplan, Gordon Wittenmyer, and Tim Stebbins discuss which areas of the roster the Cubs still need to address and how they can do so. Get your shopping lists out and let's see what we can find.
(1:38) - The Cubs have young pitchers in the pipeline nearly ready for the big leagues, but they need to add at least one more veteran starter.
(6:15) - If the Cubs need and are looking for veteran pitching, why didn't they make an offer to Jon Lester sooner?
(9:45) - Based on what the Cubs have now, should they have brought José Quintana back? Who else is out there?
(13:50) - Who plays second base: Nico Hoerner, or should they look for a veteran?
(17:40) - Will the government get involved in making sure players get vaccinated?
