The #chicagocubs won 92 games in 2025, and while their first playoff berth since 2020 was nice, fans want more. That starts with free agency and trades, but the #cubs have been one of #mlb least active teams. Why? Is there something up #jedhoyer’s sleeve? #kap & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss an offseason of frustration and if that narrative will change or remain the same on this edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast.

As the #mlbwintermeetings get set to take over #orlando next week, the #chicagocubs have thus far been relatively quiet this offseason. Off the board is #dylancease. Expected is a frenzy among teams vying to make a big splash next week with former #cubs #kyletucker and #kyleschwarber expected to be two of the biggest bats to sign elsewhere. And, after the cuts this week at #marqueesportsnetwork, what does that mean for the Cubs finances? #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss when, if at all, the Cubs will sign players to help compete for an #nlcentral crown and more in 2026.
