About this episode
One of the issues the Cubs need to address is the lack of depth in the farm system, but what do they already have there?
Host David Kaplan and Maddie Lee discuss the Cubs' minor league system. Is there any talent that will be on the major league team in the future or is the cupboard bare and needing to be replenished completely?
Later on in the pod, Kap and Maddie discuss which current Cubs player should be moved to gain assets and when they think they will be traded.
