Welcome to Episode 98 of the podcast! This week, we're diving into all things Sammy Sosa as we celebrate the Cubs legend. Here's what you'll find in this episode:
Welcome to Episode 97! This episode feels a little different—no Cubs player has ever worn #97, but instead of finding a stat or milestone to mark the moment, I'm dedicating this one to Ryne Sandberg, a Cubs legend who shaped my love for the game. I reflect on his legacy, his influence on my childhood, and why we're all rooting for him as he battles cancer. Ryno, this one's for you. This week, the MLB Winter Meetings gave us plenty to talk about. Here's what I cover in this episode: Cubs Trade and Free-Agent Rumors: The stove is heating up! I dive into the latest on Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner, and Cody Bellinger, plus why the Cubs might make some surprising moves. The Kyle Tucker Buzz: Could the Cubs pull off a blockbuster trade for Kyle Tucker? I unpack the rumors, what it might take, and why he could be the game-changing bat the Cubs need. Roster Moves and Rule 5 Draft: From the addition of Gage Workman to the Rule 5 Draft picks and Carson Kelly rumors, I share my thoughts on how these moves could shape the 2024 Cubs roster. What's Next: It's clear the Cubs aren't done. From starting pitching to bullpen depth and another big bat (or two), I lay out what the team needs to address before Opening Day. This offseason feels like a turning point for the Cubs, and I can't wait to see how it unfolds. As always, I'd love to hear your take—what do you think about the Kyle Tucker rumors? Are you optimistic about the Cubs' moves so far? Let's talk about it. Go Cubs, and see you next week! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Podcast Show Notes – Episode 94 Host: Mike Waller Episode Summary: In Episode 94, I dive into the Cubs' recent roster moves, including trades, designations, and Rule 5 protections, as the team gears up for the 2024 season. With the non-tender deadline looming, I analyze key decisions impacting the roster and what they signal for the future. From designating beloved players like Adbert Alzolay and Brennan Davis for assignment to adding intriguing bullpen depth, this episode explores the Cubs' strategy and roster construction challenges. Key Discussion Points: Recent Roster Moves: 40-Man Additions: Owen Caissie and Ben Cowles were protected from the Rule 5 draft, while Adbert Alzolay and Brennan Davis were designated for assignment. Trade News: The Cubs acquired reliever Eli Morgan from the Cleveland Guardians for outfield prospect Alfonsin Rosario. Player Spotlights: Adbert Alzolay: Reflecting on his transition from starter to closer, his struggles, and future options post-Tommy John surgery. Brennan Davis: Once a top prospect, Davis's career has been hindered by injuries. I discuss his potential path back to the majors. The Backup Catcher Puzzle: The Cubs added Matt Thaiss from the Angels as a depth move, raising questions about the backup catcher role. Improving the Bench and Bullpen: Bench Needs: The Patrick Wisdom DFA highlights a push for a deeper, more versatile bench. I discuss the critical importance of improving this area. Bullpen Additions: Eli Morgan brings a unique skill set to a bullpen increasingly focused on high-leverage depth. Future Outlook: I revisit last week's discussion with Sara Sanchez about constructing a competitive Cubs roster under the same financial constraints as Jed Hoyer. Exploring potential free agent targets like AJ Minter and Ryan Stanek to bolster pitching depth. New Faces in Development: Tyler Zombro: A special assistant added to the Cubs' pitching development team, Zombro brings expertise from his time with the Rays and Driveline Baseball. Key Takeaways: With the non-tender deadline approaching, the Cubs' moves reveal a clear focus on depth and flexibility. The bullpen gains versatility with Eli Morgan, but questions remain about filling the closer role. The bench must evolve to better support regular starters like Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner. Quote of the Episode: “Watch the bench moves. They may not be sexy, but they'll be critical for success in 2024.” Tune In To Learn: How the Cubs' recent roster moves shape the team's strategy for 2024. Why player depth and flexibility are vital for the Cubs' success under new manager Craig Counsell. What to expect from upcoming free agent signings and trades.

Podcast Show Notes for Episode 92 In Episode 92, I take a deep dive into the Cubs' current offseason situation, unpacking the big decisions that lie ahead and revisiting some crucial moments in team history that hold powerful lessons for today. Episode Highlights: 1. Juan Soto Rumors and the Cubs' Approach: A breakdown of the latest rumors around Juan Soto and the implications for the Cubs if they sit out of the bidding process. Why Juan Soto is a generational talent worth pursuing, even if it means stretching the budget, and why missing this chance might feel like deja vu for long-time fans. 2. The Larry Himes Era Revisited: Taking a look back at the early 1990s when then-GM Larry Himes chose not to keep star pitcher Greg Maddux—a decision that haunted the franchise for years. Exploring how the Cubs could be at a similar crossroads today with Soto and other potential big moves, and what lessons they might learn from history. 3. Ownership, Budget, and Spending Philosophy: Examining the Cubs' spending strategy and why fans feel the team should take bolder financial risks, especially with a billionaire ownership. Insights into how ownership's decisions have influenced the team's on-field results, and where Jed Hoyer's approach as a GM fits into this narrative. 4. Key Offseason Deadlines and Decisions: Important upcoming dates, including the tender deadline on November 22 and the Rule 5 Draft in early December, with potential roster moves and non-tenders. Names to watch for, including young players on the brink of roster decisions and possible non-tender candidates like Patrick Wisdom and Nick Madrigal. 5. Next Week's Special Episode Preview: A teaser for next week's episode featuring Sara Sanchez (Bleed Cubbie Blue, Cuppa Cubbie Blue Podcast), where we will revisit the Cubs' 2023-24 offseason moves and reimagine how the budget could have been spent differently. Closing Thoughts: This offseason presents a rare opportunity for the Cubs to reshape their future. As a fan and follower of this team, I can't help but feel a mix of optimism and worry as I watch how they choose to proceed. With generational talent on the line, the Cubs' decisions over the next few weeks will have an impact on the team for years to come.

Episode Summary: Welcome to episode two of The Signs, a new podcast where I dive into interesting numbers, trends, and plays related to the Chicago Cubs. I'm your host, Mike Waller, and today I'm breaking down the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT) and how it affects the Cubs' spending decisions. Key Points Discussed: Introduction to the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT): I explain what the CBT is, how it's calculated, and why it matters to the Cubs and other MLB teams. Contrary to popular belief, the CBT is not a salary cap, but it does influence how teams like the Cubs manage their payroll. CBT and the Cubs' Payroll: I discuss Jed Hoyer's recent comments about the Cubs potentially exceeding the CBT threshold this year. I break down what this means for the team's financial strategy and how it aligns with their performance on the field. The Cubs' Payroll History: A look back at the Cubs' payroll and CBT history since Tom Ricketts bought the team. I cover how the Cubs have approached spending in recent years, including the challenges they've faced with retained salaries and guaranteed contracts. Impact of Retained Salaries: I delve into the specifics of retained salaries and how they've impacted the Cubs' ability to stay under the CBT threshold. I highlight the inefficiencies in spending, such as the costs associated with players like Trey Mancini, Jan Gomes, and Tucker Barnhart. Future Spending and the Cubs' Strategy: Looking ahead to 2025, I discuss the Cubs' future payroll commitments and the potential strategies they might employ to stay competitive while managing their CBT obligations. I also touch on the possibility of big-name signings like Juan Soto and how that could impact the team's financial strategy. My Take on the Cubs' Spending: I share my personal thoughts on the Cubs' spending habits, the importance of efficient budgeting, and the need for the team to make smart financial decisions that align with their goals of returning to playoff contention. Conclusion: In this episode, I explored the intricacies of the CBT and how it shapes the Cubs' financial decisions. Whether the Cubs go over the threshold this year or not, what matters most is how they spend in the years to come to build a winning team for the fans. Thanks for tuning in, and as always, Go Cubs!

Podcast Show Notes: CubsPS+ The Signs Episode 1 Episode Title: The Signs: Blown Saves Host: Mike Waller Description: Welcome to the debut episode of "CubsPS+ The Signs," my new podcast where I take a deep dive into interesting numbers, trends, and plays related to the Chicago Cubs. This short-form podcast aims to land in your feed one or two times a week, offering quick hits on specific topics that may not fit into my larger episodes. Episode Summary: In this first episode, I discuss the concept of "blown saves" in baseball, a statistic that often causes confusion and frustration among fans. I delve into the nuances of this stat, explaining why it can be misleading and how it should be properly contextualized. Key points I cover include: The definition of a blown save and how it differs from a traditional save. Why not all saves (and blown saves) are created equal. The performance of the Cubs bullpen this season, highlighting the team's struggles with blown saves. The importance of the save plus hold percentage as a more comprehensive measure of bullpen performance. Examples of games where the Cubs bullpen struggled and how these instances impacted the team's overall performance. The potential impact of improving the bullpen, especially at the trade deadline. Key Stats and Insights: The Cubs bullpen has blown 23 leads this season, ranking among the worst in baseball. The team is 14-20 in one-run games and has 18 blown saves. The importance of looking beyond just the closer when analyzing blown saves. Cubs' current bullpen situation and potential trade deadline moves to bolster the relief pitching staff. League average save percentage vs. Cubs save percentage and its impact on the team's standings. Takeaway: Understanding the blown save stat requires context. It doesn't always indicate poor performance by the closer alone, but rather reflects overall bullpen management and performance. Despite the Cubs' struggles, there are signs of improvement, and strategic moves could enhance their chances as the season progresses.
