Corey and Brendan discusses the pros and cons of an Emmanuel Clase trade. Other bullpen options such as Robert Stephenson are discussed as the Cubs attempt to bolster their 2024 bullpen. How would Clase compare to Alzolay's 2024 projections? Should the Cubs just try to get several potential bullpen arms rather than spend big or trade high-value prospects on a select one or two arms?

Last episode, the Cubs had finally crept into playoff position. Now, as they remain in wild card position, 3.5 games back of Milwaukee, we've decided we have reached the point where we should expect this team to grab one of those six spots. We talk about how Morel's one swing against the Sox could have swung the season, and certainly swung the vibes this week, the resurgence of Suzuki, the emergence of Alzolay from closer to CLOSER, and how exactly the Cubs are going to patch together enough starting pitching to get to the finish line. Follow us at @awaygamespod on all the things and follow @adammamawala & @kevinmccaff! Leave us a five star rating, would you? Oh, and go see Adam headlined Zanies Old Town in Chicago on Tuesday, September 19th!! 

Ji-Hwan Bae, 2B/OF, PIT (CBS: 43% rostered, ESPN: 7% rostered): Why is Ji-Hwan Bae rostered to such a low level? He's 19-of-24 swiping bases, good for fifth overall as we enter mid-June. It's time to give your Free Agent pool a scan to see if somehow he has been overlooked. He shouldn't be.Will Brennan, OF, CLE (CBS: 9% rostered, ESPN: 3% rostered): In the past seven games, Brennan has gone 11-for-29 with two homers and seven RBI. On most teams, that would be a good week. In Cleveland, it's otherworldly.Kerry Carpenter, OF, DET (CBS: 8% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): The injuries to Riley Greene and now Akil Baddoo have allowed Kerry Carpenter to play full-time. He has gone 10-for-15 in his past four games and should see a steady diet of at-bats until the walking wounded are back walking.Colton Cowser, OF, BAL (CBS: 28% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): If it wasn't for the quad injury, there's a good chance Cowser would already be plying his trade in Baltimore. Now recovered, how long will it take to see him plying his trade in Baltimore? My guess is not very long.Christian Encarnacion-Strand, 3B, CIN (CBS: 45% rostered, ESPN: Everyone else has been called up in Cincinnati. It's only a matter of time before Encarnacion-Strand gets his opportunity. With 17 home runs and a .427 BA in 177 at-bats at Triple-A Louisville, that opportunity will likely come sooner rather than later.Stuart Fairchild, OF, CIN (CBS: 1% rostered, ESPN: not rostered): Jake Fraley once again hits the IL, joining Wil Myers and Nick Senzel. Stuart Fairchild has helped pick up the slack and thus far has done an admirable job, slugging a couple of homers with 19 RBI and seven thefts. The outfield has taken a big hit injury-wise in the past couple of weeks. Fairchild could provide at least a temporary option.Nolan Jones, OF, COL (CBS: 42% rostered, ESPN: 8% rostered): Are we finally seeing a breakout from Nolan Jones? In five games this week, he has gone 6-for-16 with a pair of homers. It's worth a small bid to determine if this hot streak is sustained.Corey Julks, OF, HOU (CBS: 10% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): Long-term, Julks is more than likely a fourth outfielder, but short-term, the stolen base potential is providing sneaky value. He has four thefts this week with more to come, and for a small investment could be accumulating them on your Fantasy squad.Nick Pratto, 1B/OF, KCR (CBS: 29% rostered, ESPN: 4% rostered): Over the past seven games, Pratto has gone 6-for-22 with a homer and 3 RBI, hitting mainly out of the leadoff slot. Playing time should not be an issue with Vinnie Pasquantino on the IL with right shoulder instability.Emmanuel Rivera, 1B/3B, ARZ (CBS: 4% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): It's crowded in Arizona, with Josh Rojas and Emmanuel Rivera in a job share, but Rivera appears to be slowly winning the battle. The power and speed are limited, but there's no doubting Rivera's ability to control the strike zone. In deeper Leagues, that .860 OPS provides value.Tarik Skubal, SP, DET (CBS: 25% rostered, ESPN: 4% rostered): The rehab clock has started, and so far, so good. We're looking at a much-anticipated early July return to the Tigers rotation. Buying in early will save you some of that precious FAAB.A.J. Smith-Shawver, SP, ATL (CBS: 58% rostered, ESPN: 13% rostered): The 20-year-old righthander got that first start under his belt and handled it in fine fashion. He went 5 1/3 innings allowing two unearned runs in a no-decision. That has earned him another start against the Tigers. Go get him and get him active.Mark Vientos, 3B, NYM (CBS: 17% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): Pete Alonso got plunked on the wrist last Wednesday, suffering a bone bruise and sprained left wrist that will leave him sidelined for the next month. There will be opportunities in New York for additional at-bats, and it's worth a small bid to see if Vientos and that power potential gets his share of them.Bryan Woo, SP, SEA (CBS: 13% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): The first game was underwhelming, to say the least, but Woo bounced back nicely in his second outing, holding the Angels to two runs over 4 2/3 innings while chipping in with seven strikeouts. He has earned another start.The Closer ReportAdbert Alzolay, RP, DET (CBS: 12% rostered, ESPN: 2% rostered): With two saves in his past five appearances and sporting a 30/4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 30 appearances, Alzolay has moved into the setup role with an eye towards working the ninth regularly.Scott McGough, RP, ARZ (CBS: 8% rostered, ESPN: 2% rostered): McGough got off to a rough start and lost the closer job but has rebounded nicely. He hasn't allowed an earned run since May 12, a span of 10 appearances (14 IP). Over that span, he has amassed 21 strikeouts. In Leagues that count holds, it's time to include him in your future plans.A.J. Minter, RP, ATL (CBS: 24% rostered, ESPN: 12% rostered): The season has been one of very high highs and very low lows, but after both the success and failure, Minter has shown a return to the “good AJ”. He has two saves and a win this week and has solidified his hold on the setup gig. It's time to get him rostered and active, again.Andres Munoz, RP, SEA (CBS: 51% rostered, ESPN: 47% rostered): There was considerable debate as to whether Paul Sewald would own the ninth inning for the M's heading into 2023. A right shoulder strain suffered by Munoz back in early April made that decision a moot point. Well, Munoz has returned from the IL and is already flashing that huge strikeout potential. In a worst-case scenario, you wind up with a high K/9 setup man. At the best, a job share closing and save opportunities. It seems like a win/win to us.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement

Harden learned Hao was a fan of his and the two struck up a friendship over FaceTime. Harden also donated sneakers and money toward Hao’s recovery. Hao recently left a Chicago rehabilitation facility and said he may move with his family back to China. NBA – Nick Gilbert, son of Cavaliers owner, dies at 26 Nicolas “Nick” Gilbert, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert who became the team’s good luck charm at NBA draft lotteries, has died. He was 26. A funeral announcement posted by the Ira Kaufman Chapel said Gilbert died Saturday “peacefully at home surrounded by family.” Gilbert was diagnosed as a child with neurofibromatosis (NF1), a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow in the brain, spinal cord and skin. Wearing a signature bow tie and dark-rimmed glasses, Gilbert became a sensation at the 2011 draft lottery. NBA – Analysis: Wemby’s farewell tour will be a French celebration Victor Wembanyama’s first basket on Sunday night looked so easy. He deflected a pass, ran it down, dribbled twice and dunked the ball with his left hand. And 15,000 people roared. He’s called a generational talent, though really, there’s never been one in France quite like Wembanyama. The 7-foot-3, 19-year-old, soon-to-be No. 1 pick in the NBA draft is on his farewell tour of his homeland, playing his final pro games there before he comes to North America and accepts the challenge of trying to truly become the game’s next superstar. Golf – PGA – Clark holds off Schauffele for first PGA win at Wells Fargo Wyndham Clark shot 68 on Sunday for a four-shot victory over Xander Schauffele at the Wells Fargo Championship to earn his first career win on the PGA Tour. Clark finished the tournament at 19-under 265, the second-lowest score in relation to par in tournament history behind only three-time champion Rory McIlroy’s 21-under 267 in 2015 when par for the course was 72. Clark struggled to hold back tears as he sank a bogey putt on the 18th hole to seal the win. Schauffele has accuracy issues with his driver on Sunday and shot 70, finishing at 15 under.

A funeral announcement posted by the Ira Kaufman Chapel said Gilbert died Saturday “peacefully at home surrounded by family.” Gilbert was diagnosed as a child with neurofibromatosis (NF1), a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow in the brain, spinal cord and skin.

He’s called a generational talent, though really, there’s never been one in France quite like Wembanyama. The 7-foot-3, 19-year-old, soon-to-be No. 1 pick in the NBA draft is on his farewell tour of his homeland, playing his final pro games there before he comes to North America and accepts the challenge of trying to truly become the game’s next superstar.

After Nico Hoerner's first career walk off hit, the Cubs are playing a geniunely division-winning pace (ahem, 5-4…but It's a bad division, so we're not wrong). We talk falling for Dansby and his gorgeous backhand, Nico's path to + offense, Seiya's return date and how mystifiying the roster management has been to this point in his absence, particularly in the outfield. Alzolay is dealing, Hendricks is healing, and two weeks in, it's mostly Smyly on the North Side…relatively speaking.  Follow us everywhere @awaygamespod and hit us with a rating and a review, if ya don't mind.

Cubs pitcher Adbert Alzolay joins Andy Martínez on the Cubs Weekly Podcast to discuss his offseason and how he visited and saw his family for the first time in five years. Then, the pair discuss his transition to the bullpen, why he thinks it will suit him and who he's been leaning on as he makes that transition. Plus, Alzolay gives the secrets on his slick hairstyle. Also on the podcast, Martínez is joined by Marquee Sports Network player development analyst Lance Brozdowski and the pair break down the Cubs' battle for the fifth rotation spot, Jameson Taillon's new slider and some top prospects to keep an eye on this spring.

Corey and Brendan review the Cubs sweep over the Reds and last series of the year at beautiful, historic Wrigley Field. They talk about Stroman's sinker and slider, Alzolay's two slider variations, and Seiya Suzuki's hot stretch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Corey and Brendan review the Cubs series (and season) sweep over the Phillies by discussing Wesneski's diverse pitch mix, Alzolay's cutter and multiple sliders, Javier Assad's role for 2023, and the Cubs pitching depth as a whole heading into the final week of the season.

We are just a few days into Cubs camp and the injuries are already starting to pile up. Adbert Alzolay and Ian Happ are the first on the list with Alzolay likely to start the season on the Injured List. The Cubs say Happ should be good for Opening Day. Willson Contreras reported to camp on Sunday and the topic of contract extension has returned. Rumors are flying around surrounding Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant as well. Will the Cubs get involved?

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, Cody and Ron discussed the Cubs' 3-0 win to cap off the sweep of the Twins! The guys analyzed Justin Steele's start, Alzolay's solid outing, the legend of Frank Schwindel, and so much more!

Past two starts the righthander has allowed six earned runs with four homers in eleven innings. As they opened this series the Cardinals had a winning record at home and the Cubs had dropped 12 of 18. Alzolay gives up homers and the Cardinals have power sitting ninth in the league.
