The #chicagocubs are rolling, having won 6 in a row at the time of this taping and improving to 13-9 in a loaded #nlcentral. #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss how the #cubs have looked like a different club the last week and why and how all three phases, offense, defense and starting pitching is clicking at the same time.

#kap is SICKENED by #cubs $8 million manager #craigcounsell for his handling of the bullpen and starting pitching in last night's game against the #phillies. Is Craig Counsell a good manager? Or is he middle of the pack? #kevindurant on social media said that #pca is ‘must watch’; however, he is currently the worst hitter in baseball statistically this season. Is PCA’s slow start worrisome? Will PCA live up to his contract? Ka...

Just days before #openingday, the #chicagocubs locked up the new face of their franchise, #petecrowarmstrong to a 6-year, $115 million dollar extension in a deal that’s a win win for both sides. #kap and Gordon break down how it happened and why this is a no brainer for the organization. Then, they preview the #nlcentral with #milwaukeebrewers beat writer, Todd Rosiak as they debate whether the #brewers can find a way to win the di...
As #openingday draws near, #kap & Gordon discuss #venezuela and their upset over #usa in the #wbc. #danielpalencia impressed as a legitimate closer during the tournament. The guys then discuss the #chicagocubs rotation after #matthewboyd was named Opening Day starter. Kap transitions that into some value play bets, including whether #cadehorton could make a case for a #cyyoung award in his 1st full season.

Cubs REKAP ® Podcast ⚾️ (S4 - EP5): Spring Training begins as Hoyer admits more additions could come
Pitchers and catchers have reported to Spring Training and the level of expectation is the highest for the #chicagocubs since their #worldseries run in 2016. And, a yearly staple at #sloanpark, #jedhoyer met the media and admitted that they still have financial flexibility to add even more to a bulked up roster in search of an #nlcentral crown. #kap & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss Jed’s comments as Gordon chimes in from Mesa, AZ.

Cubs REKAP Podcast - (S4 - EP3) Cubs Aren’t Finished: Evaluating the Current Roster and What’s Ahead
Kap and Gordon sit down to break down the current construction of the Cubs roster following last week’s big news: the signing of superstar Alex Bregman. They discuss how the Cubs’ spending approach has changed this season, fueled by the added revenue from five home playoff games—something Tom Ricketts has pointed to as allowing for increased investment. The Cubs are still searching for pitching help, and this roster may not be fini...
In the middle of the incredible #chicagobears football game, news broke that the #chicagocubs signed #alexbregman to a big 5-year deal. What does that mean for #mattshaw and the rest of the Cubs infield? Are they done shopping?

The #chicagocubs made a big move to bolster their rotation moving forward. #edwardcabrera is now a Cub and it took top prospect #owencaissie to land him. So, that means more has to be coming with a vacancy in right field. Right? #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the upside of Cabrera, why trading Caissie was the right move and what they think the next domino to fall could be. Plus, we take your live questions and reactions.
The #chicagocubs have done very little this offseason. Outside of a few bullpen moves, there has been no BIG move for the #cubs in the rotation or the lineup. After #tatsuyaimai signed with the #houstonastros, enough is enough. #kap and Gordon Wittenmyer discuss the frustration that comes with that for a fanbase after a season where they returned to the postseason, but came a game short of the #nlcs. What now? Is #kyletucker a...
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 fi...
The #chicagocubs got a jump on the relief market by adding veteran #philmaton on a 2-year deal. #kap is hearing that there is mutual interest in starter #dylancease. The #cubs need a high end starter and he’d fit the bill. Plus, Kap & Gordon Wittenmyer go deep into an article from The Athletic where #newyorkyankees owner #halsteinbrenner discusses the benefit of a salary cap in #mlb. So, is it realistic?
#takethat
Kap and Gordon debate whether #shotaimanaga coming back on a one year deal is a good thing or a bad thing for the Cubs. Are the Cubs the new Settlers in town?

The #chicagocubs aren’t playing in the deep end of the pool when it comes to free agency and fans and others, including #kap, aren’t happy. #kyletucker is off to greener pastures as the #cubs zero in on starting pitching targets. Kap & Gordon Wittenmyer discuss who those targets are and why they can’t do more in free agency. We hear from #jedhoyer who spoke at the GM Meetings in #lasvegas as GW challenges him on budget plans f...
