For the first time since Yu Darvish, the Cubs have signed a $100 million dollar player. Dansby Swanson signed a 7 year, $177 million dollar deal to presumably take over shortstop and join with Nico Hoerner in the league's best defensive middle infield. Drew Smyly also reportedly has agreed to return, filling out the Cubs rotation and giving it truly solid depth. The offense? Well…it's not there yet. We talk a little bit about rumored targets Michael Conforto and Trey Mancini, and we only talk about the remaining catching options as much as we legally have to. Welcome to Chicago, Dansby! Follow us everywhere @awaygamespod!

The CHGO crew can appreciate a solid weekend with the Cubs signing Dansby Swanson and Drew Smyly. now how will Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins finish off the roster. Plenty of holes to fill and just as many rumors. Plus, what happened on this day in Cubs history that forever changed the franchise? Sometimes, little moves can mean a lot too!

It was Friday the 13th and the Cubs had to take on old friend Zach Davies. Something had to give. In the end, Davies and the DBacks beat the Cubs 4-3 in Arizona. Ildemaro Vargas hit a 2-run triple to plate two runs that lead to a three runs third inning and that was it for the Cubs. The Diamondbacks responded in the bottom half with three of their own. Drew Smyly pitched six strong innings but allowed four earned runs, including the game winning run on a wild pitch later in the game. The Cubs had a chance to tie or take the lead with the bases loaded in the eighth inning but failed when Alfonso Rivas flew out to end the inning. Cody and Luke break down the game and look forward to tomorrow's game. They also discuss Anthony Rizzo's comments to the media before Thursday's game agains the White Sox on the South Side.
