The 700 home run club and assessing Cubs’ future bats
About this episode
The Cubs' biggest rival has a hitter approaching a rare feat: 700 home runs. With Albert Pujols nearing the milestone, David Kaplan, Tim Stebbins, and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss if we will see anyone outside of Pujols hit the 700-mark soon or if anyone ever will again. Later in the pod, the guys discuss the future bats for this team, including the infield beyond Nico Hoerner, and Cubs top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong.
(1:30) - Will we see anyone hit 700 home runs if Albert Pujols gets there?
(8:06) - All-time Cubs killers
(14:15) - Is there something there with Nick Madrigal?
(21:40) - How soon could we see Pete Crow-Armstrong in the big leagues?
