But Max is never happy about, everything? Terry Francona of the #Reds told his players to ignore ABS since they are not going to use it this season anyway. Authir Keith O'Brien will join the podcast in 2 weeks to talk about his book "Charlie Hustle".  Pete Rose was in the news again as he's set to receive a pardon for his criminal activities (tax related) from President Trump. #MLB commissioner Rob Manfred then piped in that they will take another look at Pete's explusion. The youngest player to play MLB was LHP Joe Nuxhall in 1944. He was still 15 years old and only in high school!  He pitched one game, got shelled, and didn't come back to the show for 7 years!  Joe pitched 16 seasons and won 135 games a pitcher and became a long time broadcaster for Cincinnati with HOF broadcaster Marty Brennaman. We also talked about NY Giants Freddie Lindstrom who became a HOFer - somehow, and still is the youngest player to ever play in the World Series.

Steve Adams joins Darragh McDonald in an all-mailbag episode. They discuss many things including whether the Braves will really begin the season without acquiring more depth in their rotation or bullpen, why David Robertson remains unsigned, the possibility of a reunion between the Mets and Jose Iglesias after the recent injury to Nick Madrigal, how Justin Turner will fit onto the Cubs' roster, whether Jackson Jobe will win a rotation job in Detroit over Casey Mize and Kenta Maeda, if the Mariners are looking to trade Luis Castillo, and how deferrals don't actually skirt the luxury tax. 

Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski have a LOT to discuss this week as Spring Training forges on.

Sam and Matt try and revive the NBA All Star weekend while complimenting the 4 Nations Faceoff. The guys then try and diagnose the Knicks struggles vs the best teams and some early spring training storylines from both teams

My first game of the spring. The Mets lost but I met Steve Cohen and a players' father. I also describe the play where the Mets lost Nick Madrigal.

Episode Summary: In this episode, I dive into a key aspect of the Cubs' roster—bench depth—and why improving it could make a huge impact in 2025. Last season, the Cubs' bench was a major weakness, and I break down the numbers on just how bad it was. But with several offseason additions and some intriguing prospects, is the bench finally a strength? I also check in on the latest Alex Bregman rumors and discuss whether the Cubs should pursue a veteran bench bat like Justin Turner or Mark Canha. Key Topics Covered:

In this episode of the podcast, I dive into a variety of Cubs-related topics as the offseason winds down. With pitchers and catchers reporting soon—especially early for the Cubs and Dodgers due to their Tokyo series—it's time to assess recent moves, potential signings, and projections for the upcoming season. Key Topics Covered:

There's plenty of Cubs intrigue to talk about with the team apparently involved in trade discussions with the Padres for a top of the rotation starter and/or a closer, so Praz and Oleg are on hand to discuss it all. But it's a podcast done with heavy hearts as the guys have to bid adieu to the great Nick Madrigal. How will they ever cope? They also discuss how much PECOTA likes the Cubs, and then take some odd detours. Check it out.

An ALLCITY Network Production The PECOTA projections model predicts the Chicago Cubs will run away with the National League Central in 2025! With Spring Training a week away the hot stove is on fire.

The Mets make a signing, but not the one Boomer promised

The Bears fired their overmatched head coach and are already thinking about which dud to hire next, while the Cubs are just hoping somebody will take Cody Bellinger's cash off their hands. Tom Loxas is here to discuss the coaching change, the candidates for the real job and whether Kevin Warren's involvement is good, bad or hilarious. We also preview the winter meetings, talk about the Cubs chances to get Garrett Crochet, and need reassurance that a Nico Hoerner trade won't result in Jed just bringing back Nick Madrigal since nobody else will sign him. All that and more.

Time to discuss this week's news: letting go of Mike Tauchman, Nick Madrigal, Patrick Wisdom and more players. They are $50 million, give or take, under the first tier of the luxury tax. How will they spend that money? Why do they appear to be out on the top-tier pitching market? Corey Freedman and Brendan Miller have it all for you on the CHGO Cubs Podcast.

Podcast Show Notes Episode Title: Thankful for You…and a Brand New Bench Episode Summary: Happy Thanksgiving, Cubs fans!

Cubs Offseason Moves So Far: Breaking down the recent trades and non-tendered players, including Nick Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom.

Welcome to Episode 42 of TableSetters! Before we dive in, a quick note: this episode was recorded before Blake Snell signed a 5-year, $182 million deal with the Dodgers on Tuesday night, so we'll save our thoughts on that blockbuster for next time! This week, Devin and Steve break down the Red Sox's aggressive offseason plans. Boston is making a strong push for Juan Soto, while also targeting top free agents like Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, and considering a potential infield shuffle with Willy Adames. The Sox are serious about competing in 2025, but will Soto be their cornerstone? Devin has fun with the drama, pointing out how Soto is trolling the baseball world with cryptic moves. We then dive into a major trade between the Royals and Reds, with Kansas City sending Brady Singer to Cincinnati for Jonathan India and Joey Wiemer. The Reds strengthen their rotation, while the Royals get two young, versatile players to help fuel their rebuild. We also discuss the Angels' signing of Yusei Kikuchi to a three-year, $63 million deal, hoping the lefty can stabilize their rotation for a 2025 playoff push. In other news, we look at notable non-tenders like Dylan Carlson and Nick Madrigal, who could be looking for fresh opportunities. Meanwhile, Walker Buehler turns down interest from the A's, citing concerns over their temporary home in Sacramento. We also talk about KBO star Hyeseong Kim, who's set to enter the MLB market via the posting system, drawing attention for his elite contact skills, speed, and defense. For a fun twist, Devin and Steve tackle some of the worst trade ideas they've seen on Twitter in this week's Blind Rankings. And speaking of wild ideas, we discuss whether the 4th of July could become baseball's version of Thanksgiving—an annual tradition to make baseball the go-to sport for America's birthday. Plus, we answer mailbag questions on budget free agents and when the first domino of the offseason will fall, and reflect on what we're thankful for in the baseball world this year.

Crawly and Dustin analyze the Cubs' recent roster moves, which included infielder Nick Madrigal and outfielder Mike Tauchman being non-tendered.

From small deals to non-tender decisions to rumors about trades and free agents, the Cubs are starting to make some moves and narrow their options. Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney have you covered with all of the latest information. The duo from The Athletic get into the Eli Morgan trade with Cleveland, why releasing Mike Tauchman and Nick Madrigal made sense, and how the Cubs are using a process of elimination with free-agent starters. Plus an explanation of what the team is thinking with Cody Bellinger.

Episode Summary: In this episode, I welcome Sara Sanchez (Bleed Cubbie Blue) to tackle an ambitious roster-building exercise: could we construct a stronger Cubs roster for 2024 within the same budget constraints as the current front office? Inspired by a September discussion, we analyze roster decisions, free agent signings, and trades to see if we can outmaneuver Cubs GM Jed Hoyer. Key Discussion Points: The Challenge: Could we build a better roster under the Cubs' financial limits? Using the 2023 roster as a baseline, we explore options, non-tender candidates, and possible trades. Roster Decisions: Kyle Hendricks: We debate keeping the seasoned pitcher, balancing sentiment with recent performance. Yan Gomes: Sara argues for a younger, more affordable catcher like Victor Caratini. Non-Tenders: I release Patrick Wisdom and Nick Madrigal to free up payroll. Signings & Adjustments: Free Agents: We look at bullpen adds like Emilio Pagan and Ryan Stanek to bring depth. Bench Power: I suggest JD Martinez for depth and power off the bench. Bellinger's Return: We discuss scenarios if Bellinger re-signs and examine possible replacements. Michael Bush Trade: Evaluating Bush's role at first base and its impact on the infield. Pitching & Bullpen: Relievers: Sara advocates for impact relievers like Ronaldo Lopez, while I add Brent Suter for balance. Closer Role: We agree on Adbert Alzolay but add depth with reliable bullpen options. Reflecting on Cubs' Past Decisions: Trades & Contracts: Revisiting past moves, Sara shares insights on players like Wilson Contreras, whom she believes still had value for the Cubs. Cubs 2024 Vision & Future Strategy: Craig Counsell's Influence: How Counsell's flexible approach could impact roster management. Developing Prospects: Emphasizing key players like Moises Ballesteros and Porter Hodge to prevent trading valuable future assets. Quote of the Episode: “If you get a chance to sign one of the top 10 players in baseball, you pay the premium and do it – it's worth it to build a winning team.” - Sara Sanchez Tune In To Learn: Our approach to reshaping the Cubs roster within budget. Insights on key free agents, trades, and Cubs prospects that could influence the 2024 season. Listen to the full episode to hear our dream roster and if we can truly build a better Cubs lineup!

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.

The gang is all here to talk about Shōta enjoying the All-Star Game, Jed's first big trade of the season, great catchers on the waiver wire and strip clubs where Praz can the lead the guys to at the bachelor party he's attending. Like all of our podcasts it somehow derails from announcer rankings to terrible crimes committed by athletes back to Chip Caray and Jim Edmonds. The guys discuss the Cubs surge before the All-Star Break and if it means anything, propose a couple of win-win trades that both have Nick Madrigal in them, and then they try to figure out what Easter and the Trade Deadline have in common. They also talk about which of the Ricketts family subscribe to the Pointless Exercise newsletter. All that, and much more.

In this episode of the Dingers podcast, we dive into a tumultuous week for the Chicago Cubs. First, we celebrate Pete Crow-Armstrong's return to the MLB, analyzing his impact and potential for the team moving forward. On the flip side, we discuss the demotion of Nick Madrigal, exploring what went wrong and what this means for his future with the Cubs. The Cubs' offense has hit a rough patch, and we break down the key struggles at the plate, identifying possible solutions to get the bats swinging again. As the pitching staff juggles roles, we provide updates on Jordan Wicks' rehab and speculate on how his return could stabilize the rotation. Despite the promise of individual performances, the team has now lost six consecutive series, leaving fans and analysts questioning what needs to change.

In the third hour, Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes discussed Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams' adventures around the city of Chicago and his celebration of fans chanting "Green Bay sucks" at a local bar over the weekend. Bernstein and Holmes agree that Williams is embracing the city and attention in the right way. Later, they discussed the Cubs demoting infielder Nick Madrigal to Triple-A Iowa.

Bruce Levine and David Haugh opened their show by breaking down the Cubs' 5-4 loss to the Reds on Friday afternoon, which featured third-base coach Willie Harris making a "bad send" that resulted in infielder Nick Madrigal getting thrown out at the plate in the ninth inning. Later, the guys continued to discuss how the Cubs have been hurt my mental mistakes recently.

The Cubs can't hit and the Bears are finally going to be on Hard Knocks, and Tom Loxas has left his own podcast to become a regular here at Pointless Exercise and so we talk all about it. Do the Cubs need a catcher? I guess if you don't want every pitch to just roll to the backstop they do. How do they work Petecrow into the lineup on a regular basis? Is Dansby Swanson ever going to hit again? Why is Nick Madrigal still around and Ian Happ still batting right handed? Then, on a happier note the guys discuss what the first shots of the Bears first ever appearance on Hard Knocks will be, how Matt Eberflus can either bolster his reputation or doom his career on the show, and why the Bears need to force the NFL Films guys to focus on players beyond Caleb Williams. They also discuss if the Chicago sports media is equipped to actually cover this Bears team. All that, and more. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/desipio/message

Oleg and Andy call to the bullpen and Mike D. steps over Kyle Hendricks to fill in for the birthday boy, Praz. The guys discuss whether the Cubs have demoted Kyle to the bullpen or is being put out to pasture, and they (or at least Andy) thinks with a little "growth" it might just work. They also try to make sense of the Cubs sending down Petecrow and not Nick Madrigal and just how long Nick's Roster Spot Hostage Crisis can go on. They also discuss what to do with Ian Happ, whether Cody Bellinger is playing his way back to free agency again, and most crucially, how can the third largest market in the nation foist Zach Zaidman and Matt Spiegel on us as our only play-by-play options. All that, and more. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/desipio/message
