Podcasts about Chicago Cubs

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes reacted to new Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman's introductory press conference and previewed the Bears-Rams showdown Sunday in the NFC divisional round. Will the cold weather affect the Rams much?

In the final hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes were joined by Score football analyst Dave Wannstedt to preview the Bears-Rams showdown Sunday in the NFC divisional round. After that, Spiegel and Holmes reacted to what Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer had to say about trade rumors surrounding second baseman Nico Hoerner.

The Cubs did stuff and picked an obvious, but rare for them, direction by trading an overrated prospect for an upside starting pitcher and then spent some of their "wheelbarrows of cash" on a real hitter. David Brown is here to discuss what the Cubs do with Nico Hoerner and Matt Shaw, where Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger and Boba Chette end up. How the Red Sox completely bungled the Bregman-Rafael Devers thing to an epic proportion (even for them). Scott Boras does not seem like a guy you want doing any electrical work on your home. And Dave reveals and explains his real-life MLB Hall of Fame ballot. And more.

Matt Spiegel was at Alex Bregman's introductory presser and explains why his signing is a sign of the Cubs going for it!

Bob and Dave have their weekly conversation with Jon Morosi to get his thoughts on what Alex Bregman signing with the Cubs means for the Mariners plans, what that move does to the market for Eugenio Suarez, and which AL West team is having the best offseason, they continue to look back on how their preseason Seahawks playoff predictions have aged, and they hear why Jason Kelce is blaming the Eagles player and not their offensive coordinator for their playoff loss in Sweeping the Dial. 

Joe Ostrowski and Ryan Horvat open up by kicking around possible show names (00:00-08:15) before turning to the NFL, where they discuss the Packers-Bears rivalry returning and what should be the end of Aaron Rodgers' run (08:15-22:30). From there, Horvat unloads nine bets for the NFL Divisional Round, including his favorite pick of the weekend (22:30-35:05). The episode wraps with a pivot to futures, as Ryan explains why the Cubs will win the NL Central, followed by a College Football Playoff title game pick (35:05-46:24).

There's a lot more intertwined between the Patriots and Texans, but one name has the decisive advantage. Why does it matter that Mike Vrabel was once a coach in Houston and every other former Patriot on the Texans' staff was under Bill Belichick? Then, Mego joins the show to talk more about the Patriots and why Drake Maye had an average performance against the Chargers. And, for what feels like the first time in his tenure, Craig Breslow is entirely at fault for letting Alex Bregman sign with the Cubs.

The 2026 Cubs Convention is upon us and Jeremy and Jack rundown the full agenda. The guys talk about autograph targets and what weirdos they expect to see from the Extended Cubs Universe. The guys also reflect upon 300 episodes of the podcast and the worst night in Wisconsin sports fans lives as the Cubs sign Alex Bregman and the Bears come from behind for the 2nd time vs. the Packers!

In the best of the Tigers on 97.1 The Ticket, The Valenti Show, Karsch & Anderson and Costa & Jansen with Heather talk about Alex Bregman signing with the Cubs & touch on the looming arbitration hearing between Tarik Skubal and the team

Hour 3 starts with a brutal scorecard check on the show's MLB free agent predictions, as everyone whiffs on Alex Bregman landing with the Cubs. Then it turns into full-blown “Head Coach Vacancy Bingo,” with rapid-fire picks across the league and a heavy Giants focus as the crew debates John Harbaugh vs. Kevin Stefanski, plus the looming possibility of a Mike Tomlin breakup in Pittsburgh and who could replace him. The hour also features a troll-heavy “Aaron Rodgers 5 Greatest Career Accomplishments” list that spirals into a Jets expectations argument, followed by Rodgers' postgame comments defending Mike Tomlin and taking shots at media “experts.” On the baseball side, the Mets get linked to a short, mega-AAV Kyle Tucker offer, then Jeff Passan's report drops with Nolan Arenado finally getting traded. Plus, a classic Evan social moment: Sean Morash compared to a Cabbage Patch Kid, with the receipts. #EvanAndTiki #Giants #JohnHarbaugh #MikeTomlin #AaronRodgers #Jets #NFLCoachingCarousel #MLBHotStove #Mets #KyleTucker #NolanArenado #WFAN

Evan and Tiki pull out the “prediction desk” to grade their MLB free agent picks and immediately take an L: everyone misses on Alex Bregman, who signs with the Cubs. The scoreboard gets updated, the slow-burn MLB offseason gets roasted, and then the show pivots hard into “NFL Head Coach Free Agent Bingo.” They fire off early predictions for the Browns, Raiders, and Titans, with names like Mike McCarthy, Jim Schwartz, Brian Flores, Jesse Minter, Joe Brady, and Matt Nagy getting tossed around. The segment crescendos into the Giants debate, where the crew lines up on John Harbaugh vs. Kevin Stefanski and what each hire would mean for the franchise moving forward.

When the Chicago Cubs acquired Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins, many were left wondering if there would be another big move left in their arsenal. That question was answered over the weekend when they agreed to a deal to bring three-time All-Star Alex Bregman to the Windy City.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Cubs' five-year, $175 million deal with the former Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox star to help solidify their lineup and continue their stellar offseason. Could this be the move that helps get Chicago back to the top of the NL Central for the first time since 2020?Later, Jordan and Jake examine how badly it appears the Red Sox messed up in their negotiations with Alex Bregman, considering they traded away Rafael Devers during the season and are now left with neither All-Star on their squad. Then the guys get into how real of a possibility it is that Bo Bichette joins the Philadelphia Phillies, as well as a new addition to Team USA's World Baseball Classic roster.1:29 – The Opener: Bregman to Cubs26:19 – Scott Boras Scoreboard update34:41 – The Red Sox badly messed up49:21 – Red Sox front office response59:41 – Bo Bichette and the Phillies?1:09:04 – New addition to Team USA Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

There's only one hour to boast about how even though it wasn't pretty, the Patriots found a way to advance past the Chargers. How encouraging was it to see the defense bring relentless pressure and winning despite some struggles from Drake Maye? Then, there is a little bit of fear that what the Chargers did in the first half against the Pats could be beneficial to whoever wins between the Texans and Steelers. And, some quick thoughts on Alex Bregman leaving the Red Sox for the Cubs and the clue Sam Kennedy gave during last Saturday's Fenway Fest.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Danny open Episode 366 sparring over Seahawks fan anxiety during a supposedly "relaxing" Wild Card weekend, as Mitch openly roots for any path that avoids the Rams. They break down why the Seahawks' fear factor is matchup-based rather than talent-based, react to the Rams' narrow escape against Carolina, and land on the uncomfortable truth: there are no easy games left. Plus, a little spirited Seahawks trivia showdown celebrating Jaxon Smith-Njigba's First Team All-Pro honor and revisiting the franchise's all-time elite. The conversation pivots to the Damon Williams saga at Washington, with both acknowledging a sharply divided Husky fanbase and debating whether Williams' return reflects genuine remorse or unavoidable financial and legal reality. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down the Seahawks' divisional-round matchup against the 49ers, debating whether Seattle avoided or invited its toughest possible playoff test. They examine health advantages coming off the bye, the danger Kyle Shanahan still poses, and why Seattle's offense must create early separation to avoid a tight finish. The conversation expands to Clint Kubiak's head-coaching buzz, potential internal replacements, and why Jaxon Smith-Njigba's first-team All-Pro nod may be the only individual honor a historically collective Seahawks defense was ever going to earn. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to dissect the Damon Williams soap opera at Washington, arguing the real villain isn't the player but a broken NIL system with zero transparency and a completely backward calendar. He bluntly accuses Lane Kiffin of tampering after missing on other quarterback targets, explaining how desperation and unchecked money have turned the portal into chaos. Neuheisel stresses that UW and Jed Fisch must now repair the relationship between Williams and the Husky fanbase, warning that without crowd buy-in at Husky Stadium, Washington's ceiling drops dramatically. Neuheisel dissects Ole Miss's final-play decision against Miami, explaining why failing to steal easy yardage doomed their comeback chances. He details how Indiana has built a mature, NFL-ready roster through NIL, experience, and elite defensive play, arguing the Hoosiers are now a true national power. Neuheisel also makes the case that quarterback Fernando Mendoza is a future NFL superstar and backs Indiana to cover and win the national championship.   GUESTS   Daniel Timothy O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Top seed anxiety sets in as Seahawks fans sweat the Rams, the 49ers survive, and Wild Card weekend delivers pure chaos. 7:28 | Danny's Seahawks Trivia 16:10 | Seahawks land the matchup they wanted, while Husky Nation fractures over the Damon Williams return. 39:24 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks brace for third showdown with 49ers as health, coaching churn, and playoff pressure collide. 1:12:10 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel Part 1; Neuheisel unloads on NIL chaos, Lane Kiffin's quarterback scramble, and why the Damon Williams saga may finally force college football to fix itself. 1:40:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel Part 2; Rick Neuheisel breaks down Indiana's shocking dominance, Ole Miss's late-game failure, and why Kurt Signetti and Fernando Mendoza have changed college football's power structure. 2:05:00 | Other Stuff Segment: Indiana vs Miami (apostrophe ruling), Indiana's head coach meteoric rise & long-term program outlook, Pete Carroll Hall of Fame candidacy vs Mike Holmgren, Clint Kubiak head-coaching interest and Seahawks OC succession, Charles Cross contract extension evaluation, John Harbaugh dismissal and league-wide appeal, Matt Khalil lawsuit over invasion of privacy claims, Alex Bregman signing with the Cubs and Mariners fit question
